CBL Movie Review: "Let Me In"

"Don't let the poster fool you, folks. There are zero snow angels to be found in this flick"

Movie Totals:
  • 11 dead bodies
  • 1 breast
  • 1 awesome car crash
  • Multiple gallons of blood
  • Gratuitous Bowie
  • Gratuitous period piece
  • Gratuitous Now & Laters
  • Bully Fu (including Wedgie Fu and Pointer Fu)
  • Metal Rod Fu
  • Acid Fu
  • Heads bob
  • Heads roll
  • Necks roll
  • 10 heartwarming preteen/vampire romance moments
"Let Me In" is an honest effort from Matt Reeves, the fella that directed "Cloverfield", in remaking (or what turkeys consider making an homage to) the original 2008 Swedish film "Let the Right One In". I've never seen the original, but I've heard good things. Well, you've got your romance. You've got your horror. Mix that together with Chloe Moretz as a creepy vampire kid and you've got a pretty darn good movie. That's why it gets 4 stars. Check it out.
