Last Tuesday I went to see Let Me In a haunting and provocative vampire thriller with a difference from the acclaimed director of 'Cloverfield'
Owen (Kodie Smit-McPhee) is a lonely social outcast. Bullied and tormented at school, he spends the icy days plotting revenge on his tormentors and the bitterly cold evenings spying on his neighbours. However, he finds his life changes when Abby (Chloe Moretz), a self-assured 12-year old girl, moves in next door with her father. They become friends and form a deep bond. But as Abby appears only at night and is seemingly immune to the winter weather, Owen starts to realise that she isn't quite like other girls. As a series of gruesome murders occur in the town, Owen must face the reality that his friend may in fact be a vampire. Mixing adolescent angst with pulse-racing horror, 'Let Me In' is a note-perfect US remake of the acclaimed Swedish film 'Let the Right One In'
