Let Me In – review

This rather good, extremely well performed horror movie is a transposition of Tomas Alfredson's outstanding Swedish vampire movie, Let the Right One In , from 1982 Stockholm to President Reagan's America, and specifically Los Alamos, Mexico, cradle of the atom bomb. The story of the friendship between an undead girl and a shy schoolboy from a broken home remains much the same, and a lot of the original's detail is retained, but the local community is less well established. It is, however, several leagues above the Twilight series, and Matt Reeves, who made his debut with Cloverfield, knows his onions, or should that be his garlic?
