So, I watched the English-language remake Let Me In (2010) a week or so ago.
I was a bit disappointed in it. It seemed to lack the complexities and nuances of the Swedish film.
One scene featuring Owen (this film's version of Oskar) was particularly cringe - the scene where he is standing in front of his bedroom mirror with a Michael Myers-type mask on, imagining himself threatening his bullies and calling them 'girl'.
The chemistry between Owen (played by Kodi Smit-McPhee) and Abby (Chloe Grace Moretz) was almost non-existent, so that I found it difficult to believe that they were sweet on each other.
I really don't know why Hollywood even put out an English version - Swedish people have a similar culture and language to us Brits and Yanks, anyway.
Very pedestrian movie IMO ... 5 out of 10, perhaps.
I don't believe it! I'm becoming that which I hate - a snobbish movie critic!
