To celebrate the digital release of the iconic horror Let the Right One In, starring Lina Leandersson, Kåre Hedebrant, Patrik Rydmark and Peter Carlberg, we have 2 posters to give away.

In anticipation for the digital release, Vertigo Releasing have collaborated with iconic illustrator Chris Malbon to create entirely new, hand-illustrated artwork in honour of the film’s iconic characters, cold Scandinavian setting, and, of course, the infamous pool scene.

Let the Right One In follows bullied 12-year-old Oskar (Hedebrant), living with his mother in suburban Sweden, when he’s introduced to his mysterious and dark neighbour Eli (Leandersson). Whilst the pair are initially reserved with each other, they gradually start to form a close bond through their shared insecurities. However, this tale soon takes a sinister turn, as it becomes apparent that Eli is no regular young girl, as she shares with Oskar her dark secret – that she is in...

Directed by Tomas Alfredson and adapted from John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel of the same name, the film is celebrated for its haunting atmosphere, complex characters, and a chilling take on the vampire genre.

To commemorate this release, Vertigo Releasing collaborated with artist Chris Malbon, who crafted a stunning new poster that pays homage to the film’s striking Scandinavian setting and its unforgettable climax—the infamous pool scene. This fresh artwork serves as a fitting tribute to a film that has left an indelible mark on horror cinema.

Set in a suburban Swedish town in the early 1980s, Let the Right One In centres on Oskar, a bullied 12-year-old boy played by Kåre Hedebrant. Oskar finds an unlikely friend in Eli,...

The holidays are over, which means we are now knee-deep in the dark days of winter. In many parts of the world, a bleak coldness has set in. As I sit here writing this, a bone-chilling wind is howling outside, literally shaking my house and making me want to burrow under some blankets and not go outside until April rolls around. Now is the perfect time to hunker down and stream some icy horror movies as you wait out the winter. Below, I've rounded up 10 wintry horror movies you can stream this month, in all their chilly glory. And because I know someone, somewhere, will be wondering about this: no, "The Shining" isn't on here. And there are two reasons for that. One: I already listed "The Shining" in a previous horror streaming column and I try not to double dip, and Two: believe it or not, "The Shining" is currently unavailable to stream anywhere.

For many cinephiles, there are few more cathartic emotions to experience than fear, which has taken audiences to some deep, dark, and terrifying places for over a century. Whether it's German expressionism, a monster picture, a creature feature, a slasher, or a tale of psychological torture, every successful horror movie knows how to delve deeply into the audience's subconscious, take root, and stay there.

Over the years, horror fans of all types have championed certain films, claiming their favorite is the genre's best. Usually, these are bonafide classics like The Exorcist, The Shining, and John Carpenter's The Thing, but as good as those movies are, none qualify for this particular list. When the IMDb, Metacritic, and Rotten Tomatoes ratings for the scariest films ever are averaged out and given equal weight, it results in the following list of the ten highest-rated horror movies of all time.

There's an extremely strong case to be made in favor of John Carpenter being dubbed the master of horror. Although 2010's "The Ward" was Carpenter's last feature film foray into the genre (along with producing the "Halloween" reboot trilogy), the director's diverse oeuvre is profound enough to sustain us for the ages. Sure, every horror-head would love for Carpenter to helm another project, but for now, all we can do is cherish what we have and hope for the best. In the meantime, we can also talk about an underrated horror gem that Carpenter absolutely adores.

When asked about contemporary horror and its ability to scare him, Carpenter told Comic Book that it is hard for him to distance himself from the lens of a filmmaker while watching them, and scrutinize "the plumbing" of modern horror. However, Carpenter considers a film scary if it is able to bypass these instincts...

If there is one thing we can learn from Abigail, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett's recent movie starring Alisha Weir as Count Dracula's adorable little ballerina spawn, it's that a relationship between a child vampire and its guardians isn't an easy one to understand. There is a power imbalance, but, unlike human relationships, the child isn't always the more disenfranchised party. After all, the child isn't even properly a child, but a centuries-old entity that can have their captors killed in the blink of an eye, much like Abigail does. However, more than a decade before Weir was drinking blood from the necks of Dan Stevens and Melissa Barrera, rightfully pissed at being kidnapped, another movie took the relationship between a kid vampire and their adult caretaker to much more twisted and complicated heights. Despite being remembered mostly for its dark romance between two kids, one human and one fanged,...

(Welcome to Scariest Scene Ever, a column dedicated to the most pulse-pounding moments in horror with your tour guides, horror experts Chris Evangelista and Matt Donato. In this edition, Matt wants you to "Let the Right One In.")

When Roger Ebert's right, he's right. The prolific film critic called Tomas Alfredson's "Let the Right One In" the best modern vampire movie upon its release, still relevant praise over a decade later. The movie is many things — sweet, compassionate, bloody, and supremely dark. Vampirism is what connects two outcast children, as they perform unspeakable acts for the benefit of each other. Alfredson stays in command of a vampire tale that's often an emotional journey first, relying on adolescent actors who shoulder the beloved international hit.

There's a specific moment where Virginia bursts into flames that is, probably, the most horror-forward shot of the entire film. That'd be most other...

What happens if you fall in love with a vampire? That was the big question in 2008 when two movies tried to answer the same question with wildly different results. The biggest, of course, was "Twilight," the tepid teen vampire romance adapted from the novel by Stephanie Meyer, who did away with some of the gnarlier elements of bloodsucker lore and had hers twinkling in the sunshine instead of their usual scorching fate.

Lesser known but far better received by horror fans and critics was Tomas Alfredson's bleak and tender "Let the Right One In." Adapting the screenplay from his own novel, author John Ajvide Lindqvist stated that his intention was to ditch any romanticized notions and imagine what life would really be like for a vampire stuck in the body of a 12-year-old child (via Ain't it Cool). Needless to say, it is much less glossy than Robert Pattinson...

Horror has always been a matter of perspective. The maniac with a knife just isn’t as intimidating when he’s facing off against a Swat team, and the only thing keeping Predator from turning into an all-out slasher flick is the size of the protagonists’ biceps. It’s a lot easier to fear for a helpless victim, and that’s why it makes sense that so many scary stories focus on children and childhood fears.

After all, what’s more vulnerable than a child? And with so many child-centric scary movies out there, we’ve come up with this list celebrating six of the best “Final Kid” performances in horror.

Talented child actors are hard to come by, so I think it’s time to shine a light on the pint-sized survivors that helped to make some of our favorite horror flicks so memorable.

While this list is based on personal opinion,...

AMC’s “Interview With the Vampire” is a great example of how a TV series can be an opportunity to modernize dated source material and films. This week, the vampires aren’t as lucky with Showtime’s “Let the Right One In.”

Many changes made for the series were done in the name of sustaining narrative television. The TV series follows the basic outline of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel, as well as Tomas Alfredson’s 2008 feature involving a young boy whose new friend is a vampire, as well as 2010’s American remake directed by Matt Reeves, “Let Me In.” From there, both movies take different routes to tell their story. Which version is right for you? It depends.

Showtime has ordered the American version of “Let the Right One In” to series, Variety has learned.

The 10-episode series, based on the hit Swedish novel and film of the same name, was originally ordered to pilot at the premium cabler back in March. It is expected to go into production in New York City in early 2022.

Demián Bichir leads the cast, which also includes Anika Noni Rose, Grace Gummer, Madison Taylor Baez, Kevin Carroll, Ian Foreman, and Jacob Buster.

“Let the Right One In” centers on Mark (Bichir) and his daughter Eleanor (Baez) whose lives were changed forever 10 years earlier when she was turned into a vampire. Locked in at age 12, perhaps forever, Eleanor lives a closed-in life, able to go out only at night, while her father does his best to provide her with the human blood she needs to stay alive.

Showtime has ordered “Let the Right One In,” an adaptation of the 2008 Swedish movie (itself adapted from a novel), to series. This version will star Demián Bichir, Anika Noni Rose, Grace Gummer, Madison Taylor Baez, Kevin Carroll, Ian Foreman and Jacob Buster.

Andrew Hinderaker wrote the pilot and will serve as showrunner. He’ll executive produce along with Seith Mann, who directed the pilot and will also direct additional episodes.

“Let the Right One In” has a 10-episode order. It will begin production in New York City in early 2022.

The series version centers on Mark (Bichir) and his daughter Eleanor (Baez), whose lives were changed forever 10 years earlier when she was turned into a vampire.

Locked in at age 12, perhaps forever, Eleanor lives a closed-in life, able to go out only at night, while her father does his best to provide her with the minimal amount of human blood she needs to stay alive.

Gummer will play the role of Claire. The heiress of a pharmaceutical empire, Claire is a brilliant scientist who turned down the family’s billion-dollar business to pursue a humbler, nobler career in disease research. But her life gets turned upside down when her estranged, ailing father summons her home and reveals a terrible secret.

Anika Noni Rose has been cast in the “Let the Right One In” pilot at Showtime, Variety has learned.

She joins previously announced cast member Demián Bichir.

Rose will appear in the series regular role of Naomi. Described as brilliant but cynical, Naomi balances life as a single mother with her career as a homicide detective.

“’Let the Right One In’ quickly establishes itself as a thrilling, high-stakes drama that asks the question: How far would you go to save your child from the monsters out there – would you risk becoming a monster yourself?...

With readers turning to their home viewing options more than ever, this daily feature provides one new movie each day worth checking out on a major streaming platform.

Most English-language remakes of acclaimed recent films tend to register as pointless at best, insulting at worst. Ten years ago, Matt Reeves’ “Let Me In” proved a notable exception to the rule. Three years after director Tomas Alfredson’s elegant Swedish vampire drama became a festival hit, Reeves treated the gig as an opportunity to engage with the aesthetic of the original that made it so chilling and distinct. “Let Me In” plays less like a remake than a remix, with alluring flourishes overlaid across the same magnetic beat.

That achievement is worth revisiting a decade later, as Reeves continues to work on the latest iteration of “The Batman,” with Robert Pattinson donning the cape and cowl. Reeves has several other credits...

At the core of Let the Right One In, one of the most memorable vampire films of the past decade, was Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant), a lonely, misfit, and bullied young boy with little attention from his divorced parents. He found an unexpected bond of friendship and love with a girl Eli (Lina Leandersson), who initially hid a bloody secret. Imagine that a girl equivalent to the Oskar that we know at the beginning of Let the Right One In –- that is, someone who is despised by others for being “different" –- has grown up and has incorporated into society in a productive way. With this, you have an idea of ​​the type of character that is Tina (Eva Melander) in Ali Abbasi's Border, a...

“The Walking Dead” season nine continues on Sunday, November 11th at 9:00 p.m. Et/Pt. On the all-new episode, “Who Are You Now?” the survivors encounter unfamiliar faces outside the safety of their community’s walls and must decide whether or not this new group can be trusted. The episode is written by Eddie Guzelian and directed by Larry Teng.

Following the episode, viewers can catch an all-new episode of “Talking Dead” hosted by Chris Hardwick at 10:20 p.m. Et/Pt, featuring the co-host of Hgtv’s “Property Brothers,” Drew Scott and “The Walking Dead” cast members Angel Theory and Lauren Ridloff.

Then late night, “AMC Visionaries: Eli Roth’s History of Horror” continues on Sunday, November 11th at 12:40 a.m. Et/Pt. On the all new-episode, “Vampires,” Eli Roth discusses how modern vampires come in many guises, but they all address our fascination with sex and death.

Hoyte van Hoytema has emerged as one of the great cinematographers of our time: cerebral, emotional, poetic. He creates texture and beauty with formal precision. He’s the thinking person’s cinematographer, who synthesizes the past and the present, but prefers shooting on film for organic, analog warmth.

No wonder director Christopher Nolan was drawn to the Dutch-Swedish cinematographer. They are kindred spirits, and their work on “Interstellar” and “Dunkirk” (shot mostly with the 15-perf IMAX film camera) recalls the scope and intimacy of the legendary David Lean and Freddie Young pairing on “Lawrence of Arabia” and “Doctor Zhivago.”

In all likelihood, “Dunkirk,” which portrays the heroic evacuation of Allied soldiers from German occupation during the early stages of World War II, should result in Hoytema’s first Oscar nomination. Shot from three perspectives — land, sea, and air — the footage we’ve seen thus far is breathtaking in its visceral force.

The first decade and a half of the 21st century has brought a lot of changes to the landscape of film. The advancement and sophistication of computers has made realistic computer generated effects a mainstay in both big-budget and small-budget films. The internet and streaming technologies have given big Hollywood new competition in films produced independently and by non-traditional means. We went from purchasing films on yards of tape to plastic disks, and now we can simply upload them to the cloud. Advertisements for films have reached a higher, more ruthless level where generating hype through trailers and teasers is crucial for a film’s commercial success. Movie attendance has fluctuated along with the economy, but that hasn’t stopped films from breaking box office records,...

Norman Bates and the resurrected people of The Returned could be getting more company in the growing horror community on A&E, as the network is developing a TV series adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist's world-renowned Sweden-set vampire novel, Let the Right One In.

The Hollywood Reporter reveals that A&E is collaborating with Jeff Davis (Teen Wolf showrunner) and Brandon Boyce (who wrote the screenplay adaptation of Stephen King's Apt Pupil and also played Dr. Vandenburg in Teen Wolf) on the adaptation of the 2004 novel, Let the Right One In, aka Låt den rätte komma in, with both Davis and Boyce set to scribe the script.

A&E and Showtime were both looking to adapt the vampiric coming-of-age story, with the former outbidding the latter in the end and gaining the optioned story from Hammer Films Productions.

A&E is currently developing the series in-house along with Tomorrow Studios.

Halloween is coming and we thought with all those kids that are out trick or treating, dressing up to be grown ups, that we would give these halfstacks their due, children can be creepy as well. The staff has got together and compiled thirteen films where children are to be feared.

The Children From The Children

Tom Shankland’s film shares themes in common with a couple other “youth gone mad” films of the past, but these kids are terrifying in their own way. A virus of some sort is turning the children into blodthirsty, malevolent creatures. They still look sweet, but they’re ready to kill, kill, kill. The scary imps in Cronenberg’s The Brood are spooky, but nothing freaks me out more than a normal looking child becoming violent. Kids toys become tools of murder here, and a parent’s worst nightmare is born. This well directed...

Our voyage through history's underappreciated films arrives at the year 2008 - another great year for lesser-seen gems...

For some, 2008 will be memorable as the year of The Dark Knight, with its astonishingly unhinged turn from the late Heath Ledger. Alternatively, it could be remembered as the year a legion Indiana Jones fans left cinemas glum-faced, having sat through Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.

Elsewhere, Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan sang and danced on a Greek island in Mamma Mia!, while Will Smith played an alcoholic superhero in Hancock. But as usual, 2008 offered plenty of watchable movies outside the top 10, which is where we swoop in - like Hancock after a bottle of gin.

So as usual, here's our selection of 25 underappreciated films from the year 2008 - starting with a British horror film starring Michael Fassbender...

Abdellatif Kechiche’s controversial drama Blue is the Warmest Colour is a harrowing account of first love from the view of teenager Adèle, played with heartbreaking credibility by Adèle Exarchopoulos, performing against Léa Seydoux’s Emma.

This poignant piece offers an exemplary illustration of the joys and tribulations of young romance, so to mark the release of the winner of the hugely prestigious Palme d’Or award – which hits our cinema screens on November 22nd – we take a look at some other prime cinematic examples of first love.

10) Let the Right One In (2008)

dir. Thomas Alfredson

Based on John Ajvide Lindqvist’s vampire novel and pinching a line from Morrissey’s Let The Right One Slip In for its title, Alfredson’s chilling adaptation is as sweet as it is sinister. Set in a haunting Stockholm suburbia, a solitary and bullied twelve year old boy Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) finds solace in an enchanting new neighbour,...

Iron Sky producer Mark Overett is developing Pig Hunt, a violent thriller about a family man who gets caught up in a deadly cat-and-mouse game in the Australian Outback.

The film will be co-produced by Overett.s New Holland Pictures and UK-based Feature One. The script is by Englishman Ross Williams. No director has yet been announced. It.s set to shoot in the first half of 2014.

The project was unveiled during the Cannes Film Market. Overett said, .Pig Hunt is a project that has a clearly defined audience which is currently under-served in the market place. Working with the team at Feature One is an exciting opportunity to further explore the world of co-productions following our successful productions with Denmark, Germany, Holland, Finland and New Zealand..

Tomas Alfredson's acclaimed Swedish drama to show at Dundee Rep Theatre, with John Tiffany directing

Let the Right One In, Tomas Alfredson's acclaimed Swedish drama about a little girl vampire and the bullied boy who loves her, looks set to rise again, as a stage production, in the Scottish town of Dundee. "It is a deeply felt love story and that sense of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the world of coldness, seems just right for a Scottish setting," explained Vicky Featherstone, the outgoing artistic director of the National Theatre of Scotland.

The vampire romance will form the centrepiece of the Nts's 2013 programme and will open at the Dundee Rep Theatre, with John Tiffany directing. "If it delights the people of Dundee, it would be nice to think it would have a future life in other places," said Featherstone.

With the upcoming release of the creepy Hammer film The Woman in Black on DVD May 22nd, we thought it would be a good time to look back at some of our favorite frightening women from horror films of the past. Believe me; these aren't your average scream queens. These women bite back...hard!

To prime the proverbial pump, we have some honorable mentions for those who just missed the list. Who wasn't creeped out by Cécile De France in Haute Tension (High Tension) or Isabelle Fuhrman in Orphan. I remember looking through my fingers at the woman-thing at the end of [Rec], and Rebecca De Mornay was simply cold-blooded in The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. Rie Ino'o gave us an iconic image in Ring, which Daveigh Chase duplicated in the American remake. And Lina Leandersson was eerie as Ellie in Lat den ratte komma in (Let the Right One In). Hell,...

Let Me In

Directed by Matt Reeves

vs. Let The Right One In

Directed by Tomas Alfredson

Even in a pop culture landscape littered with the bloodthirsty undead, Let The Right One In stood out as a poignant coming of age story as well as a bone-chilling horror film. The haunting mediation on the difficult and often painful transition into adolescence garnered much praise on the festival circuit in 2008. The film earned a loyal cult following through word of mouth and when Matt Reeves announced his American remake, those very same cinephiles lashed out in anger. The general consensus was, “why fix something that isn’t broken?”

Sadly, mainstream audiences seem to have a problem with subtitles, so it was inevitable that the film would be remade. That said, fans of the original should be grateful that Matt Reeves (Cloverfield), alongside legendary British horror brand Hammer Films (a studio that...

This is the Pure Movies review of Let Me In, directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and starring Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road), Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass), Richard Jenkins, Cara Buono, Elias Koteas, Dylan Minnette (Lost), Sasha Barrese and Dylan Kenin. It is a remake of Let The Right One In, directed by Tomas Alfredson and starring Kare Hedebrant and Lina Leandersson. Adapted from the novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist. In 2008, Tomas Alfredson directed Let The Right One In from a screenplay adapted by John Ajvide Lindqvist, who also wrote the book of the same name. It was a Swedish success story. The film featured to wide critical acclaim on the film festival circuit and won numerous awards. Prior to its release, Cloverfield director Matt Reeves bought the rights to the film to widespread bemusement. He wanted to bring the story to a 'wider audience'. Despite the universal praise, Let The Right One In...

Richard Jenkins talks about Matt Reeves' harrowing vampire remake, Let Me In

Matt Reeves took on the challenge of remaking Let the Right One In, one of the most revered vampire thrillers seen in the last decade, and succeeded in creating something that wasn't just a lame carbon copy of the original. Let Me In, which was released this past October, actually stands on its own as a mercifully adept horror film about three lonely people coming to terms with their doomed fate. One of the things that separates Let Me In from other recent vampire outings is that it has crafted characters unique to the genre, and Matt Reeves cast an outstanding ensemble to bring these lost souls to life.

In the film, Richard Jenkins plays ten-year-old vampire Abby's (Chloe Moretz) protector, a Renfield-like servant who has grown tired and weary of his place at her side. It's...

Horror movies have gotten maximum mileage out of spooky children over the years. Seeing a tot with a grim visage and no fire in his or her eyes is a quick way to give audiences the willies, and Let Me In (new this week from Anchor Bay Entertainment) effectively uses young Chloe Moretz -- giving a grim, chilling performance -- as a centuries-old vampire in the body of what appears to be a pre-adolescent girl. (Moretz is following in the capable footsteps of Lina Leandersson from Let Me In's superior predecessor, Let the Right One In.) Who are some other movie kids you wouldn't want to babysit without garlic, holy water, and an Ak-47? Glad you asked!

Odd young boy befriends a young girl that has moved into the same apartment complex as himself. Over time, he slowly begins to realize that she is a vampire.

The cinematography of Let The Right One In is some of the most striking in recent memory. However, cinematography alone does not make a film. The central plot line involves two odd, weird characters that society has shunned coming together and finding friendship and mutual understanding with one another. While the performances from its two young leads are competent as stand alone performances, these two young actors fail to find a flow with one another. They fail to ignite chemistry with one another. They just don't feed off of one another. People who get one another or are friends with one another, have that...

Christmas has a hell of a PR agent. A good PR maximises the audience for their client, always looking for lateral markets beyond the core appeal of the product. So if Christmas is fundamentally about giving, goodwill and forgiveness, there's no harm - from a PR's point of view - if it can also be made to be about sex, death and loneliness too. We seem to have had our traditional - and always sad - fusillade of pre-Christmas celebrity deaths this year, and if we're lucky, the period between now and new year will bring no new and nasty surprises in that line.

In the meantime our TV screens have filled up customarily with ads for perfume and booze which remind us that Christmas is also a Pagan-style locus for celebrations of the carnal and sensory. And with campaigns targeted at those who have no invite to the celebrations...

Throughout the course of a year, movie goers come across thousands of actors. If they are good, we remember them. But sometimes an actor can appear in numerous films, and every time he or she pops up, we get excited. Throw away any Oscar talk, not because they don’t deserve it, but this is to honor an actress that wowed us in 2010 in terms of fun and powerful performances.

Each film, she not only impressed, but made us go to her IMDb page (here) to see what she’s going to be in next. I think there is no higher honor, than that of the anticipation from a fan to an actor for they’ll do next. Before we get to her 2011 films, let’s take a minute to look back at her work in 2010 and give some props.

Tomas Alfredson, 2008

The snow whirls, the nights draw in and a gloomy Swedish housing estate becomes a pocket murderess's hunting ground. Let the Right One In is based on a book by John Ajvide Lindqvist and directed by Tomas Alfredson, a former comedian. Here is a vampire story born out of the shadows; a film of whispered secrets. But don't lean too close: it may well pull out your throat.

Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) is a bullied 12-year-old schoolboy who befriends Eli (Lina Leandersson), who is pale of skin and dark of eye and wise beyond her years ("I've been 12 for a very long time," she explains). Eli has recently moved into the estate with a man who may possibly be her father, or a paedophile (as he was in the novel), or a lover who has grown old while she remains young. She needs constant feeding and her blundering, alcoholic neighbours provide easy pickings.

This is the day 2 vodcast on Pure Movies for the London Film Festival covering the premiere of Let Me In, directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and starring Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road), Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass), Richard Jenkins, Cara Buono, Elias Koteas, Dylan Minnette (Lost), Sasha Barrese and Dylan Kenin. It is a remake of Let The Right One In, directed by Tomas Alfredson and starring Kare Hedebrant and Lina Leandersson. Adapted from the novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist. In 2008, Tomas Alfredson directed Let The Right One In from a screenplay adapted by John Ajvide Lindqvist, who also wrote the book of the same name. It was a Swedish success story. The film featured to wide critical acclaim on the film festival circuit and won numerous awards. Prior to its release, Cloverfield director Matt Reeves bought the rights to the film to widespread bemusement. He wanted to bring the story to a 'wider audience'.

With filmmakers everywhere suffering from budget cuts, our latest World Cinema column provides some handy tips for cash-strapped directors...

Cuts. More cuts. France is on strike again. Demonstrations. It's pretty depressing right now out there. And if it's bad for us, think what it must be for those poor struggling Hollywood filmmakers!

The Spider-Man reboot is a prime example, which has had its budget cut from Spider-Man 3's bloated $258 million to a paltry $80 million. How will they even feed themselves on set?! Maybe there will no longer be a choice between the salmon and the crab?

But take heart, and don't despair, as filmmakers have for years been creative and, indeed, crafty at squeezing maximum product out of budgets that, to be honest, probably couldn't even pay for a port-a-loo in Hollywood...

Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins). A frail, troubled child about Owen's age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long,...

Remaking one of the most celebrated genre movies of recent years was always going to be a challenge. Winning a legion of fans, particularly among critics, Tomas Alfredson’s Let The Right One In is a remarkable film, and on hearing Matt Reeves was to follow Cloverfield with this adaptation I was sceptical.

English language remakes have much to overcome, remakes of popular films even more so. The misconception that they exist only to cater for those too lazy to read subtitles is a popular one, and not without a certain truth to it. But it is wrong to decry them all as pale imitations shoehorning known actors into often foreign parts to run through emotions and events second hand.

To write off remakes with a swipe of the hand is to devalue the work and success of the reanimators, and we can lose sight of what we are here...

This is second trailer for Let Me In, directed by Matt Reeves and starring Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass), Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road), Richard Jenkins, Elias Koteas, Sasha Barrese and Cara Buono. The film is a remake of the fantastic Let The Right One In, directed by Tomas Alfredson and starring Kåre Hedebrant and Lina Leandersson. Let Me In tells a terrifying tale about an alienated 12-year old boy named Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins).

We are only four Fridays away from Let Me In, the Us remake of Let the Right One In that will probably do more business in its first three days than the original did in its entire Us release window. That's a pity, but as I always say, there's a chance people will see the new one, and with their antennae raised about it, go back to watch the real thing.

Five new images for Matt Reeves' remake have been released, along with our first clip from the film. It stars Chloe Moretz, best known for Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass, a performance that nearly made Roger Ebert call Child Protective Services. So why didn't he say a goddamn thing about Bobby J. Thompson's foul mouth in Role Models or, indeed, Lina Leandersson's bloodlust in Let the Right One In? But I digress.

Her co-star in Let Me In is Kodi Smit-McPhee,...
