Hey DNA-ers! (Man, I gotta work on that) This is Alex with another review of Hollywood's recent offerings. This particular review is of Matt Reeves' remake, Let Me In. Enjoy? Enjoy!
Despite the fact that I am an unabashed opponent of 90% of all remakes done in cinema, there is occasionally an actual, valid excuse for producing one. Whether time has lapsed and a story of yesteryear feels as though it can benefit from being reincarnated in the present pop-culture landscape (Ocean’s Eleven), or a director has been saving a passion project for years that he feels can only be served best by his own, personal spin on the tale (The Fly), there are reasonable means for endeavoring a remake of a production. Unfortunately, Let Me In does not contain a single one of them.
