Let Me In is the Hollywood remake of Tomas Alfredson's stunning Let the Right One In (original title Låt den rätte komma in) from 2008. Whilst I can't remember having seen a Hollywood remake of a foreign film that was anything other than a complete waste of celluloid, there are two things that make me hope that in this case all may not be lost.

Firstly, the casting of Chloë Moretz as Abby. Ms Moretz last appeared as Hit-Girl in the non-superhero film Kick-Ass, and completely stole the show. As her character is so central to the film, if she can bring some of the other-worldliness of the original to her role, that would give Let Me In a head-start over most remakes.

Secondly, this isn't entirely a Hollywood affair. It's a co-production with the legendary Hammer Films, and if some of the old Hammer magic is still around, it may help to raise Let Me In above the miserable standard we're used to from the dumbed-down "I don't read subtitles" remakes of classic films.

Of course, none of this changes the fact that Let the Right One In was a haunting and thought-provoking film, and that this remake is likely to be pretty much superfluous...
