A good movie

Like virtually everyone else, I really enjoyed 'Let the Right One In'. I mean, it wasn't one of my favorite movies but it was definitely one of the most intriguing and original vampire movies I had seen. And then, of course, the Americans needed to produce their own remake and just like 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', it was released just a few years after the original Sweedish version. Honestly, both remakes were actually pretty good but, seriously, what is the point? So that the American audience don't have to read the subtitles? Especially in this case, Matt Reeves not only faithfully followed the plot but the mood was also identical. The only thing that they added were some more graphic death scenes and those were rather underwhelming, in my opinion. Still, it is not a bad movie, far from it. Indeed, the cast of the young children was just spot on and both Chloe Grace Moretz and Kodi Smit-McPhee gave some very impressive performances. To conclude, I might have enjoyed it more if I didn't see first the original version but I still think it is worth a look though but, on the other hand, you might just as well skip it and go watch the superior Sweedish version.
