Versus: Let the Right One In VS Let Me In



Well, what can be said. I like Let Me In ...but Let the Right One In is superior.


First, since Let Me In is the new kid on the block I will start with it...The story is parallel to the original with only a few changes and a little less character development. I thought that it was a good movie but it had a slow pace and reveled too much about the story in the beginning ...causing what I  call "long movie dull drums" for some of the audience. I hated the CGI in the movie...Hated it. There is nothing worse then the jerky unrealistic body movements to destroy a girl  suspension of disbelief. The acting by the young leads was good. Really if you want to see the story in it's best light...buck up and rent the orignial ...subtitiles and all.




Let the Right One In
The story is well told and the acting is fantastic  ....yes the leads are like 12 years old , but there is a sweet innocence that translates very well in this film, While there is horror in this film .. and in this story... At it's core it is a love story.
The effects and action that there is in this film are subtle and startling... all at the same time. You can believe that this things are taking place because nothing is too outside the realm of disbelief. The director took care with this...so when the bigger action sense comes..they have a strong impact. I greatly recommend this film. It is a film that lingers in the mind...it is sweet and disturbing all at once. The trailer is below..
