When I first heard that Matt Reeves would remake the Swedish movie Let the Right One In, I became angry that America would yet again dumb down such a perfect movie. I have nothing against remakes in principle but I don't understand the need to mess with perfection. After watching the trailer for the upcoming movie, retitled Let Me In, I became even angrier, as most of the shots seem to be directly lifted from the original film. They're not even trying. Reeves et al could at least go in a completely crazy new direction instead of playing it safe. Sure their version wouldn't be as good, but at least it'd be different. Cowards. Of course, I haven't seen this movie yet, so what do I know.
