Two New Clips & Posters From Let Me In – Starring Kodi Smit-McPhee & Chloe Moretz

Two new clips from Let Me In have made it’s way online. For those that don’t know, Let Me In is a remake of the Swedish film Let The Right One In, which itself was an adaptation of the Swedish novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist of the same name. Let The Right One In is easily one of my favourite films of last few years, it’s emotionally involving, imaginative, haunting and one of the most deeply atmospheric films you will ever see. When this remake was first announced I was a complete skeptic, I really don’t understand why people can’t just watch the original, subtitles aren’t hard that hard to follow! Yet after just watching this trailer I’ve got a little bit more hope, I’ve moved up to the level of skeptimistic! I really like the imagery and the two young actors – Kodi Smit-McPhee (who was brilliant in The Road) and Chloe Moretz (who stole the show in Kick Ass.) Fingers crossed this will do the original justice.

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). A frail, troubled child about Owens’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, the two have formed a unique bond.
