Let Me In

It is just about a fact of life that Hollywood will adapt stories to fit in with its own vision. Some people say that there are only seven basic plot outlines so if this true every story is just a slightly different version of one that came before it. What muddies the water in terms of adaptations are English language versions of films that are adapted from other media. Before it was a Swedish film about a boy falling in love with a vampire, Let The Right One In was a novel. It is argued then that Let Me In is actually another adaptation of the novel rather than a remake of the first film. What it does do is lose the connection to any reference of Morrissey by changing the title. February 2011
