	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Reeves understands what made the first film so eerie and effective, and here the same things work again (...) Those hoping to see a "vampire movie" will be surprised by a good film (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	The scariest, creepiest and most elegantly filmed horror movie I've seen in years (...) One reason “Let Me In” works in ways most horror movies don’t is that we actually care about the characters (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)	POS
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"This unsettling, effective American remake really gets under the skin as one of the year's most powerful thrillers"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"The surprise of Let Me In is that director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) hasn't just remade the Swedish cult vampire film "Let the Right One In" into a more fluid and visceral movie. He's made it more dangerous"	POS
United States	Scott Bowles USA Today	"Despite being about vampires, Let Me In can feel chillingly real (...) another quick and effective remake of a foreign hit that makes adult vampire tales Twilight and True Blood look like child's play"	POS
