Let Me In 8.5/10

Is a remake of the 2008 Swedish film, Let The Right One In, worth watching? Did they stick to the original story? I received my answers as I was watching the remake of a two-year-old film, which didn’t need to be remade, but since the original was barely seen by American audiences, they wanted to share their story with us. The remake follows the same format as the original, a boy is being bullied at school by a kid who is being bullied by his brother so he takes his anger out on the quietest kid in class, which happens to be Owen(in this version, Oskar in the original). A young “girl” and her “father” move into the apartment next door and an unusual friendship along with a series of events occur between the two 12 year olds that bond them for life.

This film does not include two sub stories, the first involving the middle aged drunks that hang out at the bar and his short stay at his father’s for the weekend.
