Well, I watched LET ME IN last night, and as expected, it did not "go there" the way the Scandinavian
vresion had. BUT it was so eerily shot-for-shot in other ways that it was NOT a bad flick at all.
In the norse flick, it was visually depicted that the vampire kid was a eunuch for lack of a better term.
Also it was verbally implied that her 'caretaker' was a pedophile basically, and he did services for her
in hopes that one day "she" would allow him to do what pedos do.

In the US re-make, neither of those issues were covered specifically, but the film only differed a tiny bit
in structure, so it was like watching the same movie. The locations were STRIKINGLY similar in almost
every scene, as was the wardrobe. It was something to see. Chloe Moretz was very good, but the main
character was REALLY good. A cool movie. Recommended.
