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.

Anyway, ever since Mr. Maguire put up his own shingle it seems like he's been attaching his name to everything with a title. He's currently attached to something like 17 movies. And it takes him two years to make a film because he's all Mr. Method now. So, basically, he's just hogging up all the good stuff cause he can. And that's some bullshit.
