LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

LET ME IN is an American remake of a 2008 Swedish vampire move called Låt den Rätte Komma In (Let the Right One In), ....... The Swedish version is already considered a classic in the genre, calling to mind the work of Anne Rice and Stephen King. It's an atmospheric adaptation of Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist's bestseller [2004] and is well directed by his countryman Tomas Alfredson.

Oskar is a 12-year-old-boy who is being bullied at school. He lives with his mother, who is loving and with whom he initially seems to have a good connection. His father is an alcoholic who lives out in the countryside.

He befriends who he thinks is a new girl who moved in next door - Eli. Eli lives with an older man Håkan, a former teacher who was fired and became a homeless vagrant when he was discovered to be a pedophile. Eli is revealed to be a vampire, who was originally a boy. He was castrated about 200 years ago and was turned into a vampire. The two children develop a close relationship and Eli helps Oskar fight back against his tormentors. Throughout the book their relationship gradually becomes closer and they reveal more of themselves and in particular Eli's lengthy history.

LET ME IN [2010]

The rights for the English-language film were 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.[14] 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."

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. "If one should remake a film, it's because the original is bad. And I don't think mine is", he said. 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 preview."
