Let Me In (2010)

Similar, and yet different from the Swedish original. Casting was spot on. Chloe Moretz is a superstar in the making. The moment I saw Kick Ass, I knew she was the next Natalie Portman. She's brilliant here as well. Enjoyed this version—hard to say if one is better than the other.

I tend to like movies the first viewing, so remakes have a hard time measuring up. With the American retelling, more layers are revealed. The audience isn't left to guess as much. Ours is more graphic, yet the Swedish has a much darker tone. I’m glad I saw them both.
