I haven't seen the original version, so I don't dare to comment, but as far as the American version is concerned, it is really a movie that can make people shine. First of all, the changed title of "LET ME IN" is more concise and more emotional than the original "Let the Right One In". Some people may not care about this small change, but for me, both the impact and the horror it brings are better. I have to say, this is a fantastic deal.
Regarding the male and female leads, Kodi Smit-McPhee's performance is slightly inferior to that of Chloe Murray. It's not that his acting is not good enough, but that Kono's acting is too good. After watching it, I really can't think of anyone who is more suitable for this role than her. Kono's natural dark temperament and Abby's image blend seamlessly. After acting in many restricted movies, Kono's mind has matured. And the immature and unfathomable appearance is a wonderful interpretation of Abby, a vampire girl who has experienced a long time. Maybe some people have prejudice against the American version of the stranger, but for Chloe Murray, it is also extremely valuable to watch it.
Some people complained a lot about the plasma scene in the US version, but this is a Hollywood movie after all. Without the label of Hollywood plasma movies, what is the difference between the little independent and the little fresh style of Sweden? It is a theorem that the remake movie is judged by wearing tinted glasses, but it brings us another video style of narration, which is really touching.
The content and professional lens reviews will not be repeated here, you can find out from professional movie reviews. Here I just want to express that it is understandable to be able to stand out in the flood of vampire themes, the attractiveness of the script itself and the excellent screen expression. I hope that even if you love the Swedish original so much, you take the time to appreciate the different feeling from the American version, it was a hundred minutes of unparalleled enjoyment.
