Let The Right One In Gets The American Treatment

Remember that fantastically awesome Swedish vampire book from John Ajvide Lindqvist by the name of Let The Right One In? Pretty damn great wasn't it?

Now, remember the equally as brilliant 2008 movie of the same name? Yeah, pretty special wasn't it?

So what happens when you have a great foreign book that's been transformed near flawlessly into a great foreign film? Why you hand the rights over to Hollywood of course!

Now sporting a new and shorter name titled 'Let Me In' (apparently America isn't cool with two more words in the title), the film is the latest bastardisation from the US and will be on its way to your cinema screens October 1st of this year. The trailer can be seen below.

Directed by Matt 'Cloverfield' Reeves, the cast includes new face on the block Chloé Moretz (Hit Girl from Kick-Ass) as protagonist Eli (though they've changed the name to Abby) and Kodi Smit-Mcphee as Oskar (now known as Owen). I just love it when original material gets raped by the fat cats, don't you!?! (High-fives self).

Whilst it does look to be a semi-solid recreation, i can't help but feel pure hate for this type of thing.
