A New TV Spot Asks To Be Let In

Should you dare to let in a TV spot for the upcoming remake of Let The Right One In?  Of course you should!  Not only is Let Me In one of the most highly anticipated horror films of the year, but it is based on one of the best vampire adaptations to be released in recent years.  The new TV spot not only wets your appetite for a little blood, but it reveals the talent of an up-and-coming young cast and a director willing to prove … this isn’t just another Hollywood remake.

A new TV spot for the highly anticipated Let Me In can be found over at Latino Review.  Though the footage doesn’t reveal much we haven’t already seen, it still gets you excited for the upcoming horror remake.  Recreating the 2008 Swedish movie Let The Right One In (which was based on a previous book by John Ajvide Lindqvist), Matt Reeves has put together his version of the popular source material that horror fans have been keeping their eye on for a while.  Let Me In shows the beginnings of a friendship between a young boy and girl (the names changed to Owen and Abby for the remake) against a snowy landscape.  As Owen grows closer to his quiet new friend, dark secrets about her father as well as her life begin to surface.  Leaving behind the shaky-cam nature of his previous film, Cloverfield, Reeves seems to pick up the beautiful and tranquil cinematography which made the original film so enjoyable.  If you can’t wait till October 1 to see how this film is going to turn out, make sure to keep an eye out for Andy’s coverage of the film at Fantastic Fest 2010.  Until then, don’t forget to catch up on the touching and creepy original film now available on DVD.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
