Let Me In review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 12/11/11
Setting is 1983, Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) gets bullied and meets Abby (Chloë Grace Moretz). Abby has a couple of victims including her dad Thomas (Richard Jenkins) who meets an accident. Owen eventually discovers the real nature of Abby. A police offer breaks in Owen’s place and is killed. The kids pick on Owen again led by Jimmy. The score and soundtrack were wonderful while its character build-up was splendid. Some shots and sequences were a bit long though but the horrific scenes were done well. Let Me In brings the scares and the kids performances were believable.
