"Let Me In" may very well be a redundancy, but like Michael Haneke's own American remake of his film "Funny Games" and Soderbergh's "Solaris," it's a remake very much with its own merit, something that takes note from its inspiration while being wholly unique.
“Let Me In” (opening October 1 throughout San Diego) is a remake of the sweetly horrific Swedish film “ Let the Right One In .”
