Because Americans can't be bothered to read subtitles..."When I heard they were doing an American version of Let The Right On In, that was my first thought.
Then I heard that Let Me In was going to be one of the first films from the newly revived Hammer Studios. That sold me on the idea actually- who better to do a vampire movie, right?
But watching it... it's a theory versus practice thing.
And in practice, it didn't work out. It was a well made movie, though it was a faint echo of the Swedish movie.
The changes they made from LTR1I and Let Me In weren't too jarring, in fact, Let Me In is a pretty good movie. I can under stand the shift from Oskar and Eli to Owen and Abbey. There were some scenes that were shot for shot reshoots from the original.
That's where the problem lies for me: Let The Right One In was just such a darn good movie that Let Me In seems like just an ok movie in comparison.
Despite that, Let Me In is still superior to many of the movies I've watched so far for the project.
