This movie is so much better than the original foreign language version. The original was a condensation of the book, whereas this one is an adaption of the book. The original book was too long, too many subplots, too many characters and truthfully, not an easy read. The movie had all of the defects of the book. This new version really focuses in on Owen (the boy) and the movie is so much more powerful because of that. It also helps that Kodi Smit-McPhee is the actor that they chose. This kid is unbelievable! If he continues producing the same level of acting in the future that he has for this movie, he will become one of the great actors of the 21st Century. The movie, The Road, was a complete waste of his talent, a 3rd rate movie based on Cormac McCarthy's loopy vision of the future. So See Let Me In, you will totally love it, a great movie!

Either the two teenagers who play the central roles are the greatest teen actors in the world OR the director can handle teenagers better than any director in the history of cinema. You should see this movie just for the superb job these two young people perform. The movie by itself is excellent, the photography, the use of the music of Bob Dylan, the dialog (thank you for the on screen translations cause at times it sounded like a foreign film from somewhere in Eastern Europe). This movie really is a gem as starts out in monotone and then when the kids reach Dublin the color is fantastic. I guess I just can't say enough nice things about this flick, check it out, you gotta love it.
