The movie is based on John Ajvide Lindqvist’s 2004 novel and remakes its 2008 Swedish adaptation, Let the Right One In and centers on a bullied 12-year-old boy, Owen and a vampire named Abby. King found it the movie beautiful and frightening, saying:
"Moving and bloodthirsty, tender and horrifying, sweet and gruesome. These beautifully drawn contrasts — plus the bleak snowscape of Los Alamos, New Mexico — make Let Me In the best remake ... of the year, and the best horror film of the decade."
