I'm telling you guys, Matt Reeves is the new director. I'm so pumped for his The Batman movie coming out next year, because this guy's got talent. When it comes to new talents, Zack Snyder and Matt Reeves are the newest ones. Let Me In is the best vampire movie I have seen in my entire life, and it has some romance. Now, if you ask me, "What genre feels forced into horror movies?" my answer would be romance, but it works so well in this movie, that I didn't even care.
Every-time I watch Let Me In, I turn the lights off and every single time, it never fails to scare the absolute living crap out of me. Now, there are a lot of great movies that came out in 2010, Christopher Nolan's mind-bending science-fiction thriller Inception being one and Martin Scorsese's absolute masterpiece Shutter Island, but Let Me In might just be my favourite of that year. I have not seen the original one or read the book, but after watching this movie after 5 times, I feel like I have to.
Stephen King is my all-time favourite author and I absolutely agree with what he said about this movie, "Let Me In is a genre-busting triumph. Not just a horror film, but the best American horror film in the last 20 years." He also named it the best movie of 2010, which is why King is the man, he's so cool, but we're not talking about me being an absolute Stephen King fanboy, we are talking about the movie, okay.
Let Me In has a great story, towards the end there is one fantastic pool scene where Oskar is forced to have his head underwater for 3 minutes. Eli (the vampire girl) kills all of them and Oskar gets back up to safe ground. This scene builds brilliant tension, we never see them get killed, we only see the blood in the water and a straight cut to Eli's bloody feet. This is one of my all-time favourite horror movies, top 5 at least, the cover for the blu-ray still gives me the creeps to this day.
Grade: A+ (One of my all time favourite movies)
