Tom Heistuman writes: Let Me In does a pretty solid job of showing that being a vampire is very similar to being an ostracized 12-year-old. Neither of them have any real connections with people outside of their parental figures. Neither are allowed much freedom (Owen's mother demands that he stay in the courtyard and Abby can't go...anywhere), and both seem to have lost a vital part of childhood: carefree excitement. I find it a little too on-the-nose that Owen's wallpaper in his bedroom is a shot from the moon's surface, looking at the Earth. Isolation, it seems, is well known to these two adolescents.
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!"
