Absolutely, I hate this new vampire craze. Twilight is obscene in the show cheesery, True Blood is rife with bad acting and attempts on trend with more mature offers are taken as a personal insult. Having recently seen two Swedish original film, Let The right One In, with the new version, Let Me In, I very seriously doubt that any other work in the vampire genre can be top.
Starring Chloe Moretz Hall of Famers Kick Ass Abby, the vampire aged 12 year and Kodi Smit-McPhee as victims of bullying at the edge of the precipice Owen, the film takes care to develop these characters and their situation in a way much more satisfactory than the original. Owen is presented as a darker than the usual brandishing a knife, mask 12 years, and peeping tom telescope in the first 5 minutes of the film. I felt sorry for him and fear of him at the same time. Of the film, Abby seems much more innocent that Owen and the two actors deliver performances that blow their Swedish counterparts completely out of the water.
Many positive changes have been implemented since the original film. Tensions are exacerbated by the inclusion of "La Policman", played by Elias Koteas, played by Richard Jenkins who is constantly on the trail of blood, and his father, Abby. Owen lives with his single mother and relationship with his father is much more distant and tense which is represented in the original, but it is for the better. Owen is the victim of several school bullies who take their torment to an appalling level, and it becomes clear why Owen seems so disturbed in the beginning of the film.
Owen and Abby first meeting in playgrounds in their apartment complex and immediately the bat Owen knows that there is something strange about. She is constantly going barefoot in the snow and strange comments about their relationship. It is an entry in the age of love is a horror movie, so don't go in with the wrong expectations.
The best scenes from the movie can be found with the father and his efforts nightly to provide ABBYY with the blood it requires, without the mess she would leave if left to its own devices. Fr. fails in his quest for blood more often and Abby is forced to hunt for itself several times. These attacks are absolutely brutal. I think that this kind of brutality adds significantly to print audience of Abby. The attacks of original films were much more docile and it is probably a product of technical limitation. Speaking of technical limitation, CGI used to execute these scenes beyond horrible. We are talking about I am Legend level, and they can sometimes get a little ridiculous. In all CGI scenes mutual concessions, providing an additional dimension to Abby priced photo realism.
Taken as a whole, Let Me In is more satisfactory in the plot and characters as the original film. Two movies have been written by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist, but to Let Me In just feels fully flesh out with a more structured narrative. If you are tired of all these companies cheap and cheesy vampire, do yourself a favor this week and go discover Let Me In
