Must Watch: Latest Official Trailer for Matt Reeves’ Let Me In

Yesterday, Tim and I raved about the footage we saw at Hammer Films’ presentation for Matt Reeves’ Let Me In, the Let the Right One In remake starring Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass) and Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road). Although the two clips we saw won’t be online, the new trailer that they showed at the beginning has officially hit the web courtesy of MTV. Considering this is the very first official US trailer for this movie (that isn’t international), I’m sure the MPAA has made sure it isn’t too intense (unfortunately). However, this is a great trailer and it does show you the dark, intense nature of this new take on Let the Right One In. Enjoy!

Watch the first official US trailer for Matt Reeves’ Let Me In:

A bullied young boy (Smit-McPhee) befriends a young vampire girl (Moretz) who lives with her guardian.

Let Me In is both written and directed by American filmmaker Matt Reeves, who’s feature directorial debut was J.J. Abrams’ Cloverfield but prior to that he directed episodes of “Felicity” and various other TV shows. This is a remake of Tomas Alfredson’s 2008 film Let the Right One In, or more specifically a re-adaptation of the Swedish novel Låt den rätte komma in written by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Overture Films is bringing Let Me In to theaters everywhere starting October 1st this fall. Does it look as good as you were hoping?
