The kid is quite disturbed, as you might imagine, and juggling Owen's loneliness, innocence and ticking time bomb nature is actor Kodi Smit-McPhee, best known for his turn in the grim post-apocalyptic drama The Road.
Shock Till You Drop got on the phone to speak to the actor briefly about his latest turn as Owen in Let Me In, opening Friday from Overture and Hammer Films.
