Grade: B-
If you’re looking for a scary movie that will make you scream until you’re hoarse, “Let Me In” is not that movie. It’s a subtler, more plot-oriented horror entry. The film is part horror and part romance, leaving audiences in an awkward limbo of reactions that waver between sentiment and fear. “Let Me In,” a 2010 remake of the Swedish film “Let the Right One In,” revolves around the friendship and love between two 12-year olds — one an immortal vampire, the other a bullied tween. It’s difficult to determine if the middle school bullies or the blood-drinking adolescent is more unsettling. The movie is dark, creepy, sad and sickly sweet, leaving a peculiar taste in viewers’ mouths. “Let Me In” is far from a typical horror flick.
