The release of Let Me In, the remake of the brilliant Let the Right One In, is fast approaching (October 1st), and I've got the first clip for you. While some have questioned the remake in terms of value and necessity (as was the case with Insomnia), and the choice of Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) as director, I think this clip gives some good indications that we're going to get a worthwhile effort.
From the dark mood and potential creepiness, to the overall style and camerawork, there's a lot you can get from this scene.
Speaking as one of those who wondered about remaking a film that was already head and shoulders above most of what hits theaters, I have to say that I'm quite a bit more interested already.
Check it out, along with some images, and let me know what you think.
Chloe Moretz (Hit Girl from Kick-Ass) stars as Abby, a mysterious 12-year old girl, who moves next door to Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee, The Road). Owen is a social outcast who is viciously bullied at school and in his loneliness, forms a profound bond with his new neighbor. Owen can’t help noticing that Abby is like no one he has ever met before. As a string of grisly murders occupy the town, Owen has to confront the reality that this seemingly innocent girl is really a savage vampire.
Let Me In, a haunting and provocative thriller written and directed by filmmaker Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and produced by legendary British horror brand Hammer Films, is based on the best-selling Swedish novel Lat den Ratte Komma (Let The Right One In) by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and the highly-acclaimed film of the same name.
