General Comments:
I still consider it to be a completely unnecessary remake, but seen as how it’s an almost scene for scene copy, is in English, and stars probably my favourite up and coming actress in Chloe Moretz, I think that it’s a damn good film. I find all remakes to be pointless exercises because they’re never any better than the original and really amount to a cash grab by the studios. Still, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloe Moretz gave really good performances, and I was pleasantly surprised that they kept Abby as a boy, although from memory they don’t seem to have delved as deep into that aspect as they did in the original Lat den ratte komma in.
Watch Let Me In because it’s a surprisingly good remake starring the fantastically awesome Chloe Moretz.
Rating: 8/10
