Let Me In

I totally loved this movie. They took away every cliche about vampires and stuck to the really important details that makes vampire's such interesting villians- mostly their very particular weaknesses. Also the psychological aspect of vampires- which I think they really put an emphasis on- is aknowleged and the questions this facet brings to vampires as well. People become smarter as they age because the more experience you have the more knowledge you gain, making you wiser and eventually mature. The fact that vampires live so long means they must be very mature and how does a very mature person cope in a body that never changes, also, what does that imply about the girl/boy relationship of the vampire and her human companion. They also examine the human aspect of it, what kind of person would aid in the killing of others and even the idea of loving a vampire?
In this remake, as opposed to the Swedish original, this American version makes sure to discuss the human child conundrum of good vs evil, but without the distinction of religion or theism.
