Firstly on viewing the new trailer out today for Matt Reeves’ Let Me In, I have to admit it looks surprisingly well cast, The boy, this time played by Kodi Smit-McPhee [The Road], & the Girl Chloe Moretz [Kick-Ass] do seem to inhibit and thread an intensely personal, vulnerable space together, just like Alfredson's. Alas thought this is just the trailer & its early days.
Synopsis:
Let Me In, tells a terrifying tale about an alienated 12-year old boy named Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Oscar® nominee Richard Jenkins
). A frail, troubled child about Owens’s age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond.
