Reel Love: Let Me In


So I have really fallen behind in posting my movie reviews here ... as in, I haven't posted any since the first one, Titanic. I'm going to start making this up by posting a review of the recently released vampire film, Let Me In. Enjoy.


LET ME IN (2010)

Let Me In depicts what modern life as a vampire would actually be like - or as close as we can guess. It's a complicated and tragic existence. But like any life, it isn't so bad when you're not alone.

Owen (played by Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a painfully shy boy just trying to survive middle school. He is bullied on a regular basis at school, and consistently ignored at home. When a similarly outcast girl his age, Abby (played by Chloe Moretz) moves into the apartment next door, the two misfits slowly form a friendship. A friendship that is complicated by the fact that Abby is not just a girl... Abby is a vampire.
