Horror Movie Month - Let Me In

Let Me In (2010)
The Stars - Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloe Moretz, Richard Jenkins, Elias Koteas with a pretty righteous mustache.
The Gist - Director Matt Reeves remakes the beloved (by everyone but me, apparently) Swedish Let the Right One, a story of a bullied 12 year old boy who befriends his new neighbor, a girl who only comes out at night. I may be in the minority here, but I think the remake is even better the original. The original was all, "Look, it's snowy and dark in Sweden and life sucks and this movie is just a moody, long, boring take on friendship and loneliness with a really great ending." Well, Reeves took the best parts of the original and made it even better. And guess what? Things actually happen in this version! There's action and I didn't even almost fall asleep like I did with the original (and this is coming from someone who loves nothing more than a good 4 hour movie... that's how boring I felt the original was).
The Scares - There is one scene in particular (involving Elias Koteas with his brilliant mustache going into a bathroom looking for Chloe Moretz's Abby) that is pretty freaking intense.
The Body Count - 10!
The Grade - B
