Let Me In

      Let Me In move centers around a young boy named Owen (The road) whose parents are in the middle of a divorce and no longer live with each other. Owen is constantly a human punching bag for three bullies, Owens only refuge from his constant torment is his solitude at home, because his mother is always working. So he play on a jungle gym at night alone, it isn't until one night a mysteries family movies in next door, as Owen watches them move in, he notices a little girl who look about his age and is walking around with no shoes in the middle of winter. As days go by, he finally meets the little girl whose name is Abby (kick-ass) she come to the jumble gym and sits by her, he notices that she still is not wearing shoes and smells funny, he asks her why she says  she feels cold differently. Own finds out the she is a vampire and the recent killing are connected to her caregiver, who kills them for blood so Abby can live, Owen soon accepts her as a Vampire and she helps him with the people who pick on him.
      Let Me In, is based on the Swedish movie and book titled the same, "Let The Right One In".  This in some cases is a shot for shot same  scenes as the original. But I feel that this movie goes deeper than most Vampire movies that are being released like their french fries, I feel that it is a coming of age story of two "kids" just trying to find in and find something in each other they can trust, and build a different kind of relationship on. It gives the feel that any human or supernatural thing need a friend. At time the movie has a gore scenes or two but lives up to the original movie and may have even added more to it. The movie goes into so lore as what would happen if a vampire come into a house without an invite, or how they can survive with help of an "helper", this movie is a muss see it goes above movies the "Twilight" or "Vampires Suck" it gives a genuine feel that as you leave the movies that this was a good movie.
