NY Timeout: Vampire movies aren’t going away anytime soon, and Sweden’s Let the Right One In, a more-elegant-than-not tale of teenage alienation (and bloodsucking), has made the resurgence that much easier to stomach. So let’s hear it for the oldest succubi in the book: Hollywood remakers. You’d think these parasites would have turned this intimate foreign property into a gory mess. But the new Let Me In does more than merely preserve the original’s mood; it actually improves on it.
When the production of Let Me In was announced, the general consensus of Let The Right One In fans was that Matt Reeves and Hammer Films had some serious ‘splainin to do.
Let Me In is a haunting, provocative remake and in some ways is better than the original.
Clickonline writes "October’s weird. In no other month do we celebrate its death by scaring the excrement out of ourselves. It’s a noble and dignified tradition.
The Halloween film is a generously nebulous term incorporating the bulk of the horror genre. Yet certain aspects of this horrific holiday mimic the unsteady shuffle of the undead – they’re not easily avoided!"
