LET ME IN Red-Band Trailer

This restricted trailer for LET ME IN, the Matt-Reeves directed remake of Let The Right One In, is not far different than the previous trailer that MTV had but Traileraddict said this one contains never before seen R-rated footage near the end. Those of us who’ve seen the original Swedish film would recognize which scene that is..

Based on the John Ajvide Lindqvist novel “Let the Right One In” and the Swedish film adaptation of the same name, Let Me In tells a terrifying tale about an alienated 12-year old boy named Owen (Smit-McPhee) who is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Jenkins). A frail, troubled child about Owen’s age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond.

LET ME IN opens October 1st, 2010
