New Clip From 'Let Me In'

Yahoo! Movies has a spankin' new clip from Matt Reeves' Let Me In, the Cloverfield director's American remake of 2008's Let the Right One In.

On one hand, this clip seems to be further evidence for the case that Reeves really gets the tone of the movie he's remaking. This clip has the same slow, thoughtful pace that helped establish the mood of the original so well. On the other hand, it sort of reeks of American remake over-writing. "I need blood to live" is such an unnecessarily deliberate line, the kind that I think wouldn't have made it into Tomas Alfredson's film.

I still think Overture Films is giving away too much about the movie ahead of time with their marketing campaign. I got a lot of enjoyment out of seeing Let the Right One In for the first time due to the fact that I had almost no idea whatsoever what it was going to be about going in. Of course, this could very well be due to the fact that the film got such limited release—and even more limited publicity—in the U.S. that almost nobody had any idea of the specifics until they sought it out. I'll grant that it's probably pretty hard to really market Let Me In without letting on a lot of the plot's details, and you've gotta hand it to Overture for the effort they're putting into getting this film a significantly wider audience than its predecessor.

"I've been 12 for a very long time" is, to me, one of the defining lines from Let the Right One In. Most of that is because it was the first point in that movie that I realized I was watching something really special—not just the film itself, but the performance by young Lina Leandersson. Chloe Moretz looks like she can damn well pull off the same caliber of performance here, which bodes well.

Let Me In opens October 1 in wide release. Aside from hoping it's as good as the original, let's also hope it gets a wider audience. From what I see in the clip above, and the other material that's been released so far, it deserves it.

Dang, music for that scene did not fit. The more I see from Chloe the more I think she was the wrong pick. She does seem to be trying rather hard to appear to be acting. Instead of simply just being the role. Kodi is, competent though. Chloe is just, I hate to say bad. But I think this clearly wasn't the role for her.

Really, so far nothing has impressed me and everything I've seen is making me think worse than I originally thought. Actually, Jenkins does look right. Shame he wasn't giving anything to work with. But Jenkins would have been a perfect choice to do something like Kevin Bacon did in the Woodsman.

Oh and, dramatic whispers never work. It isn't a library or gossip.
