Let Me In is a 2010 American drama/romance/horror film directed by Matt Reeves. It is based on the 2008 Swedish film Let the Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in), directed by Tomas Alfredson, and the novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist. It tells the story of a bullied 12-year-old boy who develops a friendship with a vampire child in a New Mexico town in the early 1980s.

Plot

In 1983 in Los Alamos, New Mexico, a police detective (Elias Koteas) enters the hospital room of a disfigured man (Richard Jenkins) and tells him that he will catch whoever else is in league with him, but is then called out to take a phone call. While he is on the phone, a scream is heard, and the detective finds the suspect has fallen out of the window to his death. The man had scribbled a note: "I'm sory Abby" (sic).

Flashback two weeks earlier, Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a very unhappy and lonely 12-year-old boy, who is neglected by his divorcing parents and continually harassed by cruel bullies. Owen harbors considerable anger against the school bullies; he often enacts imaginary fights where he stabs various targets representing the bullies. While peering at neighbors from his bedroom window with a telescope, he notices a girl (Chloë Moretz) and a middle-aged man who appears to be her father move in next door. One evening, when Owen is alone in the courtyard, practicing one of his imaginary fights, his actions are observed by the girl who starts the first conversation with Owen. Her name is revealed to be Abby, who claims to be 12 years old. Abby tells Owen that they cannot be friends, but regardless Abby and Owen grow closer, seeing each other at night and communicating by Morse code through the walls of their apartments. At school the main bully, Kenny (Dylan Minnette) scars Owen with an antenna rod; when Abby finds out about this she tells him to defend himself and she will help him if needed.

Meanwhile, Abby's "father" goes out nightly to kill local residents to acquire blood for the vampiric Abby. During his first murder, he accidentally spills the blood. After he returns home empty handed, a furious Abby kills and feeds off a jogger who lives in the same neighborhood; the father dumps the body in a lake so that Abby is not incriminated. Abby continues developing her relationship with Owen and the father asks Abby to stop seeing Owen, but she does not. One night, the father hides in a high school student’s car, who ends up bringing a passenger. While the driver stops at a gas station, the father kills the passenger and gets in a car accident. Trapped, the father douses his face with acid so that his connection to Abby will not be discovered. The father is taken to the hospital; when Abby hears this on the news, she climbs up outside his window. Abby drinks his blood after the father silently implores her to do so, and he falls out to his death.

Abby goes to Owen's window while he is asleep and asks him if she can come in. Owen allows her into his room, and he asks her to be his girlfriend, which she accepts. The detective gradually learns of the protector's connection to Abby. The next day on a field trip for school, Owen stands up to Kenny and hits him with a pole, splitting his ear. That night, when Owen tells Abby, she approvingly kisses him on the cheek. He then takes her to an abandoned area of the complex where he cuts his finger to make a blood pact with her. Abby is drawn to the blood falling to the ground; she licks it up and Owen sees her vampiric face, but instead of attacking Owen, Abby runs away and attacks Virginia (Sasha Barrese), a woman in the complex park, but is chased off by her boyfriend, Larry (Dylan Kenin). Owen becomes afraid and calls to his estranged father, who ends the phone call quickly. Owen then proceeds to Abby's apartment. She tells him she needs blood to live. As Owen looks through Abby's belongings, it becomes clear from old photos that the middle-aged man who protected her was not her father, but that many years ago, he was a boy she knew. Owen becomes frightened and leaves Abby's apartment. At the hospital, the police officer learns from Larry that Abby attacked Virginia. A few seconds later, a vampiric Virginia begins to feed on the blood in her arm from her IV. When a nurse opens the blinds to the daylight, she bursts into flames, setting fire to the nurse and the hospital room.

Abby visits one night when Owen's mother (Cara Buono) is away. Owen opens the door for her and she tells him he needs to invite her in. He asks why, so she enters without an invitation, which causes her to bleed heavily until he verbally acquiesces. Abby confidently tells Owen that she knew he would not let her die. Abby showers and Owen offers her one of his mother's dresses, but she leaves when his mother returns. The next morning, the detective heads to Abby's apartment and breaks in. He finds Abby asleep in the bathroom and tries to shine the daylight to see her, partially burning Abby, but Owen distracts him. Abby kills the detective and leaves that night after her identity is discovered. A taxi takes Abby to her new destination, as Owen watches from the window and cries.

During gym class, Kenny, his older brother Jimmy (Brett DelBuono), and friends start a fire outside to distract the teacher (Ritchie Coster) and clear out the swimming pool. Jimmy tells Owen that if he can survive underwater for three minutes, then he will cut Owen's cheek; if he cannot he will poke an eye out. Owen is held underwater by Jimmy and struggles to hold his breath. He is saved by Abby, who has returned to help him as she promised and dismembers the four bullies. Abby and Owen exit as snow falls from a broken window into the bloodstained pool. Owen travels on a train, with Abby beside him in a box to avoid the sunlight.

Cast

In July 2009, audition tapes were leaked to the Internet, showing Chloë Moretz, Mary Mouser, and Ariel Winter auditioning for the role of the vampire, Abby.[9] Smit-McPhee, in an interview with The Herald Sun, hinted that he may have landed the role as Owen.[10] The casting of Moretz and Smit-McPhee in the leading roles was confirmed on October 1, 2009, along with the addition of Richard Jenkins as Abby's adult companion.[11] In a press release, director Matt Reeves described Smit-McPhee, Moretz and Jenkins as his "absolute dream cast", and added that he "couldn't be more excited to be working with them."[12] Both Smit-McPhee and Moretz were cast before the release of The Road or Kick-Ass, and directors John Hillcoat and Matthew Vaughn respectively each praised the young actors and recommended them to Reeves.[13]

Production

According to producer Nigel Sinclair, interest in the project initially began in the middle of 2007, before the original Let the Right One In had screened for audiences.[14] The rights for the English-language film were later acquired at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival, where Let the Right One In won the "Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature," and Matt Reeves was quickly introduced as the director.[15] Tomas Alfredson, the director of the Swedish film, was initially asked to direct the remake, but he turned it down stating that "I am too old to make the same film twice and I have other stories that I want to tell."[16] Hammer Films producer Simon Oakes initially referred to the film with "If you call it a faithful remake, I think that's true to say that's what it is. It's not a reimagining; the same beats [are there], maybe the scares are a little bit more scary." [17] He later said, "I call it his [Reeves'] version. I don't call it his remake or his re-imagining of it."[18] The decision to make a new film adaptation has been criticized by Tomas Alfredson. He has stated on numerous occasions that he is not in favor of remaking his film.[19] "If one should remake a film, it's because the original is bad. And I don't think mine is", he said.[20] He also opined that

Remakes should be made of movies that aren't very good, that gives you the chance to fix whatever has gone wrong. I'm very proud of my movie and I think it's great, but the Americans might have another opinion. The saddest thing for me would be to see this beautiful story made into something mainstream. I don't like to whine, but of course – if you spent years on painting a picture, you'd hate to hear buzz about a copy even before your vernissage![21]

Writer Lindqvist, on the other hand, says that Reeves told him that he "will make a new film based on the book, and not remake the Swedish film" and so "it'll be something completely different, but it's going to be really interesting to see."[22]

Reeves has expressed his intent to retain the book's early 1980s setting and his admiration for the book and Alfredson's adaptation. "It's a terrific movie and a fantastic book. I think it could be a really touching, haunting and terrifying film. I'm really excited about what it could be", he said.[23] In response to the criticism he said, "I can understand because of people's love of the [original] film that there's this cynicism that I'll come in and trash it, when in fact I have nothing but respect for the film. I'm so drawn to it for personal and not mercenary reasons ... I hope people give us a chance."[24] When Reeves was initially approached, he at first was against the idea but after reading the novel gained a better appreciation for the story.

I said... that we shouldn't remake it. I read the book too and was completely taken with it and I was really intrigued how personal the story felt. I thought John Lindqvist had written this terrific story, and he also adapted it for the film... I wrote Lindqvist and told him that it wasn't just that I was drawn to the story because it was a brilliant genre story – which it is – but also because of the personal aspect of it. It really reminds me of my childhood.[25]

Reeves was also asked to change the ages of the main characters, but he refused, saying that "would ruin the essence of the story and change everything completely...we need that childlike innocence." He also told his actors to not watch the original film beforehand so "we could make our own version but stay very true to the essence of the story."[25] The filmmakers have noted that "they intend to forge a unique identity for Let Me In, placing it firmly in an American context", while at the same time paying respect to the original.[26] Producer Donna Gigliotti said, "We're incredibly admiring of the original, but to be honest with you, that picture grossed $2 million. It's not like we're remaking Lawrence of Arabia."[27]

In adapting the film, a few adjustments were made, such as changing the names of the protagonists to Owen and Abby,[28] and moving the setting from the Stockholm suburb of Blackeberg to "a small New Mexico town."[26] Los Alamos County has granted a special request from the film's director and producer to name the town in the movie "Los Alamos, New Mexico."[29] Producer Simon Oakes made it clear that the plot of Let Me In would closely resemble that of the original film, except that it will be made "very accessible to a wider audience"[17]

In comparing his adaptation to the Swedish one, Reeves admitted to not adding many different details from the book that weren't in the original film, stating that " the story was so big that you couldn't really add a lot of stuff in without taking away the focus of the coming of age story so I tried to have allusions and references to stuff in the book." Reeves also admitted to borrowing elements from the Swedish film, stating "There are things that [Lindqvist] adapted brilliantly in the movie and I borrowed from that because I thought he did a great adaptation. But there are some things that hopefully don't detract and fit into the context of the story. It's a mixture of details from the book, the original film and things that grew out of adapting it." [25]

Principal photography began in Albuquerque, New Mexico on November 2, 2009.[26][30] Filming took place in several different New Mexico locations, before concluding in Albuquerque in January 2010.[26][31] A large section of the film was filmed at Los Alamos High School in Los Alamos, New Mexico.

Release

It was announced on August 17, 2010 that the film will have its world premiere at Toronto International Film Festival on September 13, 2010,[32] and its U.S. premiere on the opening night of Fantastic Fest on September 23, 2010.[33] The film was released on October 1, 2010 in the United States.[34] Overture Films released the promotional version with some specials[clarification needed] in small plastic evidence bags.[35]

Reception

Critical response

Let Me In has received generally positive reviews. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 89% based on reviews from 194 critics, with an average score of 7.6/10. Among Rotten Tomatoes selected "top critics" the film received score of 81% based on 31 reviews, with an average score of 7.8/10). The consensus is that "similar to the original Let the Right One In in all the right ways - but with enough changes to stand on its own - Let Me In is the rare Hollywood remake that doesn't add insult to inspiration."[36] Metacritic gave the film an average score of 79% based on 35 reviews, judged to be "generally favorable reviews".[37] Critics praised the faithfulness in Reeves' adaptation of the original Swedish film and the novel, but also noted that enough changes were made to make the interpretation of the story stand on its own merits.[citation needed] Praise was also given to the film's two leads, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloe Moretz, in regard to their chemistry and maturity on-screen.[38]

In comparing Let Me In with Let the Right One In, Bloody Disgusting wrote, "Ultimately, if the Swedish version is near perfection, Matt Reeves's version achieves complete supremacy. Masterpiece is an overused word, but it's hard to think of another so powerful. Let Me In is the new standard for vampire movies."[39] Acclaimed horror author Stephen King wrote "Let Me In is a genre-busting triumph. Not just a horror film, but the best American horror film in the last 20 years."[40] Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal wrote that the film "is more than a respectful remake; 'Let Me In' is quietly stylish and thoroughly chilling in its own right." [41] Lou Lumenick of The New York Post called Let Me In "the scariest, creepiest and most elegantly filmed horror movie I’ve seen in years — it positively drives a stake through the competition."[42] A. O. Scott of The New York Times wrote "what makes 'Let Me In' so eerily fascinating is the mood it creates. It is at once artful and unpretentious, more interested in intimacy and implication than in easy scares or slick effects."[43]

Some critics disputed Reeves' claims that he was not remaking the film but readapting the book, criticizing it for being too similar to the Swedish film. Josh Tyler wrote "The movie he’s made is absolutely a direct remake of the 2008 film, the two are so similar that it’s almost impossible to differentiate between them."[44] In a similar vein, Jamie S. Rich noted that while there was plenty of content in the original novel that the Swedish film omitted, "Reeves hasn't really ferreted out anything new; on the contrary, there is actually less plot in Let Me In than in the Alfredson version."[45] Beth Accomando wrote, "How Reeves can take the credit 'written and directed by Matt Reeves' seems almost laughable when you note how similar the script and the direction are to the original." In comparing the two films, she opined that the remake "makes obvious all that the original film made subtle and does so with less complexity."[46] Mark Kermode called it "the most utterly redundant remake of the year".[47]

According to Metacritic, Let Me In was one of the ten best-reviewed wide release films of 2010[48] and the best reviewed film of the year in the horror category.[49] Let Me In was a critics' pick as one of the Top 10 Best Films of 2010 at CNN[50] and at MSN Entertainment for the 2010 Year in Review Special Features.[51] Let Me In was also included on Rotten Tomatoes list of the ten best reviewed wide release films of 2010[52] in addition to being the best reviewed horror film of 2010.[53]

Author's response

John Ajvide Lindqvist, author of Let the Right One In, who also wrote the screenplay for the original Swedish film, was pleased with Let Me In. He said

I might just be the luckiest writer alive. To have not only one, but two excellent versions of my debut novel done for the screen feels unreal. Let the Right One In is a great Swedish movie. Let Me In is a great American movie. There are notable similarities and the spirit of Tomas Alfredson is present. But Let Me In puts the emotional pressure in different places and stands firmly on its own legs. Like the Swedish movie it made me cry, but not at the same points. Let Me In is a dark and violent love story, a beautiful piece of cinema and a respectful rendering of my novel for which I am grateful. Again.[54]

Box office

The film opened at #8 on its debut weekend in the United States and Canada, with an estimated $5,300,000 in 2,020 theaters.[55]

As of November 30, Let Me In grossed an estimated $12.1 million in the United States and Canada.[5] The film has grossed over $20 million worldwide, itself based on a $20 million budget.[5]

Comic book

In April 2010, it was announced that Hammer Film Productions and Dark Horse Comics are producing a comic book miniseries based on the film. Marc Andreyko will write the comic.[68] The series, entitled Let Me In: Crossroads, is a prequel to the film. It has Abby and her 'guardian' facing a ruthless real-estate tycoon who wants to steal their home. The first issue will be released in December, with the miniseries being four issues long.[69]

Original author John Ajvide Lindqvist said "Nobody has asked me about [doing a comic] and I think that the project stinks. I am looking into this matter and hope that they have no right to do this."[70] Later, he informed fans that he had in fact unwittingly sold the rights for the comic to be made, stating that the producers of the remake had misinformed him as to the nature of the contract he had signed.[71]
