Last night I saw the Matt Reeves remake of the Swedish film "Let The Right One In." Matt Reeves (director of "Cloverfield" and shockingly enough, a few Felicity episodes) did an excellent job of matching the pace of the much-loved Swedish cult film. To my surprise, certain scenes appeared frame for frame, not only in look-a-like locations but extreme attention to detail. The landscape, working as one of the main characters (a frozen, desolate town) translated just as vibrantly in Reeves film as it did in the original. With an overbearing desire to buy the next plane ticket to sunny LA, the frozen tundra left the viewer feeling isolated and removed from humanity (just as the young characters are portrayed to feel).
I say see it if you were a lover of the original; and if you are a horror-film buff, go see a great SCARY movie. (8/10)
