Let Me In (I) (2010)
5/10
This is basically a shot for shot remake of the Swedish movie
24 July 2013
Moretz is nowhere near as good as the Swedish actress with dubbed voice over lines.

The boy is about the same, but since the movie is about their relationship, he can't make Moretz any good. The dubbed Swedish performances have a much better rapport between the actors.

There was no reason to make this movie. See "let the right one in" instead.

In terms of Swedish movies, this is by far the best one. Its an easy 9 stars. The feminist propaganda is quaintly Swedish without being overwhelming, and the very minor introspection into Swedish society adds to the movie, where even the most isolated American could still relate.

Some of the scene remakes, when most are exact copies, are questionable. The pool scene for some reason doesn't reveal the saviour at the end.

See the Swedish movie twice instead of wasting time on this one.
