With its mix of true-blood romance and full-moon madness, Let Me In should hasten the twilight of the twerpy pretenders.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten
The result, though no less creepy than the Swedish film, mislays its lyricism and otherworldliness.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker

The poetic Swedish vampire picture (with arterial spray) Let the Right One In has been hauntingly well transplanted to the high desert of Los Alamos, New Mexico, and renamed Let Me In.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture

Let Me In is not as fantastic as Let the Right One In, which you should rent immediately. But it is undeniably powerful and made with obvious admiration and respect for the source material.
