Let Me In: Better than the original . . . .

74.227.59.106

Saw the Scando film a while back and thought it so-so. I guess it took good old Amurican ingenuity to splatter some ketchup to make the story more compelling.

I was engrossed at how "close up" the cinematography was as it seems to make it a most personal story of the 12 year old boy and his vampire "girl". I thought the "bullying" was most appropriate illustrating problems in our contemporary society.

Richard Jenkins put in a gold performance as the loyal "Renfield" who was willing to take a bullet for the team.

For the monocle crowd I would suggest waiting for Netflix but otherwise this is a good popcorn munching, bladder busting story.

the original is one of the best horror films ever IMO. The remake was dumbed down in exposition, excessive scoring and cinematic cliches.

How could I forget?

The 12 year old kid (who gets picked on) is in class (1983) and they are standing reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. As soon as the say "God" a gigantic spitball zings him simultaneously on the shoulder and splatters everywhere. Very obvious the timing. Not so subliminal as to what the director was thinking. Burn him.
