For those of you who were fans of Let the Right One In and are still in shock that they could ever remake such a masterpiece… keep reading. If you’re one of those people who wouldn’t see it because it had subtitles, jump to the next paragraph. I hate to admit this because I was one of those people scoffing at the remake BUT when I found out director Matt Reeves had a similar response when presented with the projected, my mind was slightly eased and I was intrigued once again.

For those of you who are Let Me In virgins, you’re in for a real treat. You’re about to be introduced to two of the most interesting characters ever brought to the big screen and this time, you won’t have to “struggle” (my god people it’s not that bad!) to keep up with the subtitles.

Reeves in a way accomplished the impossible – pleasing both parties – but has he made the better film? Find out below…

Well the trailer made it in time for Halloween, but not the movie. The film stars Amanda Crew, Virginia Madsen, Kyle Gallner, Elias Koteas and Martin Donovan. The movie is “based” on a true story (I love that line, it’s used to make you think that all the special effects they’ve conjured up could actually happen and therefore terrify you even more- genuinely I fall for it every time). The story is about a family that is forced to relocate near a clinic where their teenage son was being treated for cancer. The family begins experiencing violent, supernatural events that the parents first blame on stress from the illness, but they later discover that their new home is a former mortuary with a dark past. Creeped out yet?
