Based on the novel of the same name, Let Me In, is a remake of the Swedish film Let the Right One In. While it doesn't completely blow the original out of the water, it does many things better.
I don't deal in spoilers so I won't go into anything to do with the plot, but I will say that every performance in this startlingly original film is high caliber. The two child leads draw you in to the film in a way that actors quadruple their age cannot.
The cinematography is top notch and gorgeous to behold. The music is quite and the deep bass of the terror scenes sparks the heart to beat a little faster.
The Blu-Ray is gorgeous to look at. One of the most gorgeous transfers I have seen in a long time. It really stands out on a 1080p set.
While the extras on the disk are a little sparse, they are in worth watching to gain a little insight into the making of this quiet, slow burn horror film.
I cannot recommend this title more. While the terror is not like Saw and in your face, the slow burn quality of this movie will have you on the edge of your seat and your heart beating a little faster.
If you haven't seen this film, see it NOW! One of the best movies ever made. There is not a single moment that is boring or unnecessary. MUST SEE!
As for the blu-ray, the transfer seemed decent enough. It was not a knock out, but certainly looked better than the DVD version. The sound left me a little wanting, as there didn't seem to be much separation in the channels. Seeing as this is mostly a quiet film, the sound mix didn't bother me too much, just had to keep adjusting it for the quieter moments.
The extras seemed to be culled from the DVD and aren't even in HD.
This is a solid release for the film itself and the price can't be beat for the HD experience. Highly recommended for those on a budget.
