Full trailer for Let Me In, the American adaptation of the book Let the Right One In.

I’m hearing a lot of people bitching that this movie appears to be a shot for shot remake of the Swedish movie. These people are clearly on crack. Yes, there is undoubtedly be a few shots that are similar. They’re adapting the same same story. There’s only so many ways you can shoot two kids sitting on a jungle gym playing with a Rubix cube. I don’t think they should deliberately go out of their way to make anything different from the previous film. They just adapt the book how they adapt the book. There are bound to be similarities between the two movies.

Besides, you can’t please everyone. People will bitch if it’s too much like the first film. They’ll bitch if it’s not close enough to the first one. Whatever.

All I care about is whether it’s a good movie or not. The book was brilliant, the Swedish film was brilliant and this movie has potential to be brilliant. We’ll see. Everything I’ve seen so far looks good to me.
