let me in.

"let me in" is a smart, original film about a vampiric demon's quest for blood... and thus, life.  there are ins-n-outs and interesting character developments... but frankly, i don't wanna spoil this one.  i enjoyed it and felt that my inner-turmoil ("whaaaat is happening?") added to the overall experience.

i think what sets this movie apart from others in the genre is the dynamic relationship between the two children that leaves you both puzzled and spirited.  when owen (the loner runt of a dysfunctional family) meets abby (his new neighbor) in the courtyard of their apartment complex, she states that they can't be friends and walks away.  what a c-word!

but we're only about 20 minutes into this story!  seems inevitable that their paths would continue to cross and a bond would continue to grow.  and grow it does... even through the bloodshed.

it's more substantial than a suspenseful slasher... but it still has elements of horror and unadulterated gore.  i highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good flick.
