Hey, remember when I was trying to be the shining voice of optimism of the US remake of Let The Right One In, titled Let Me In?

Sure those early images and teasers were nice but, now that we have this terrible new poster (above) and the horrible new TV spot (below)

Yeah, I’m starting to worry again.

It’s like they’re starting to market this to the lowest common denominator, painting it as a generic horror film, where before it retained the dark, spooky feel of the Swedish original.

Sure, it’s easy to blame this on the marketing - I mean, I’m not sure if you paid attention to the trailers for George Clooney’s contemplative hitman movie, The American, but they quickly went from quiet tension to bold actioner…could be the same thing here.

Let’s hope this is just an instance of poor marketing, and not a terrible remake. Let Me In hits theaters October 1.
