The much anticipated trailer for the American remake of the successful Swedish vampire flick, Lat den Ratte Komma In (Let The Right One In), has leaked.
Let Me In is based on John Ajvide Lindqvist's bestselling Swedish novel, "Lat den Ratte Komma In" and the Swedish movie of the same title. I've seen the original, and haven't read the novel, but the movie is great and disturbing enough as it is. I hear the movie (the original) is much more toned down compared to the novel. It will be interesting to see how Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) has adapted the movie for an American audience. My worst fear is that the darkness of the book and original movie will be lost in the American remake.
I'll be crushed if this movie is a complete flop creatively. I love the cast -- Chloe Moretz (who kicked major ass in Kick Ass) and Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) star in the story of a bullied, young boy (McPhee) who befriends his new neighbor (Moretz), but soon discovers that she is a vampire. Now before you cast judgment on the idea of another vampire flick, these aren't soft vamps like the ones in the Twilight saga. The story is highly disturbing and dark, and the character development goes beyond two young kids in puppy love. At least that's what I'm expecting from this remake.
