Although director Matt Reeves Makes no effort to Give the film a new look or feel and does rip off the original film scene by scene, they Makes it Worthwhile by adding a level of polish and detail that was Not scene in the original film.

In a market flooded with crap horror films and watered-down Hollywood remakes I am extremely pleased to say That Let Me In Pull Any Punches doesn't. It is as violent and disturbing as the original and delivers the turbidity level of intelligent writing That the original had. Although it is a scene by scene remake of it does have "some interesting and unique changes" That you will appreciate.

Then suck it up butter cup and get out to see this movie and Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is! Its our dollars That movies like this get made.
