Let Me In

8/10

Finally finished this film. I thought it was great. I'm not sure if it was better than the original. In the original they weren't as obvious about things as in this one. I also liked the fact that it was more ambiguous to both character's genders. I do think the bully being more of a prick in this one is definitely good because you get a real sense of why the boy fears him. The pedo thing is still there. I felt very Chris Hanseny at some moments. It's still not as graphic as the book and perhaps that's a good thing. Like I said with The Lovely Bones, in film, you don't always have to go into huge detail for the audience to get what's going on.
