Let Me In Trailer
This is so much more than a just a vampire movie. Yes, it is a movie about a young girl vampire, but it is so much more substantial than simply that. This quiet film is about a lonely, troubled young boy, Owen, who falls in love with the only person who seems to understand him, a young girl named Abby, who just happens to be a vampire. I don't even think of this as a "vampire movie," but rather, one that explores the idea of innocent friendship and love, without judgement. Yes, Abby does have a father who is a serial killer who murders people and drains their blood to keep her "alive," but that is all in the name of saving his daughter. Or was he also her childhood love and he grew up because he wasn't a vampire and she is? Anyway... visually, this movie is stunning, with a dark, neo-noir like color scheme, seeing as most of the movie takes place at night. It is based off of a Swedish movie called, "Let the Right One In," and it is virtually identical to the original. It is definitely worth seeing, and will probably turn into a cult classic. It was refreshing to see a horror film about vampires that actually had substance, and was scary without being gross. Well, I mean, it was gross what with the blood, but it was still a beautiful love story as well.
