To set the record straight, "Let Us In" was made on a low budget of $ 700K.
I know that for a fact. The other reviewer is very incorrect. This is a wonderful family movie, best described as Disney-ish with an edge. It stars a 12 year old who plays a 12 year old. Usually they get someone much older to play kids. All the young actors were actually the ages they played. Mackenzie Moss was amazing. The range and quality of her performance was impressive, as well as the rest of the cast. This is not a 'horror' movie. It is a heartwarming story of a girl who must find her way in the ruthless world of middle school while trying to save kidnapped kids who earlier bulled her. It has creepy parts and scary parts, but, as Tobin Bell (Jigsaw) said, this is a 'gateway' movie for horror that the whole family can enjoy and watch. Tobin Bell loves this movie and the amazing actors in it. My 5 year old granddaughter loved it, as well did I. Craig Moss (filmmaker & director) , did a phenomenal job, shooting only 14 days with kids, who have tutors and restricted hours, unexpected rains, and getting such a stellar cast and crew for so little. This film does what it was created to do. Tell an engrossing story about life, kids, school, friendships, hardships and persevering. Nothing new, but a lot of fun. Thanks.
