she who has been: making a movie review :D

I watched the trailer of "Let me in", a vampire romance [??], Swedish-remake-in-Hollywood film.

This is my first review so, I'm not really sure if I'm doing it correctly hehehe. Anyways, I own this blog and I wrote these words so, I don't care. Actually, one of my "pets" mentioned it to me earlier and  I got interested, searched the net and watched the trailer for many gruesome times. I even searched for the written story. *sigh!

Anyways, like old vampire-human movies, Let Me In  was dark, meaning almost 90% of shots were taken at night. It has human guardian as usual and with a slight touch of romance like the others but the twist is, the main protagonist are children.

The now-adult-guardian takes care of the needs of his forever-young-vampire, posting as his father and hunting/killing food for her. The forever young vampire  met the boy-next-door who would be her next guardian. When the now-adult-guardian found it, he asked the forever-young-vampire to stop seeing the boy-next-door but of course, she didn't listen.

    

While hunting for food, the now-adult-guardian found himself trapped with the supposedly-dinner of his mistress. He ended up washing his face with acid so people won't know his connection to the forever-young-vampire [love?].

I already know what will happen at the end though I prefer not to finish here so, I won 't spoil the fun.

Anyhow, here's my rating:

1 - lowest and 5 - highest with all the why's.

STORY: 3

Some books say that vampires can't enter your house unless the owner or one of the owners invite them in. I've seen it in this movie for the first time. I'm  not sure to other vampire movies though.

ACTORS: 3 

The forever-young-vampire, Abby (Chloe Moretz also from the movie Kiss-ass) and the blood-effect doesn't work on well especially when she and  the-boy-next-door, Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) are together.

POSTER: 4

I like their main poster though. The girl looks so vulnerable and needs protection in anyways or forms.

OTHERS:

Richard Jenkins as the-now-adult-guardian 

Dylan Minnette as the-boy-next-door's tormentor

Elias Koteas as the-detective

Ritchie Coster as the-I-will-kill-you-because-you-hit-my-bro kid

MORE:
 RUNNING TIME: 116minutes
OPENS ON: not sure
