And maybe I would have if I hadn't already seen the original. But this had none of the subtlety, grace or beauty of the original. The author co-wrote the screenplay on this one, so I don't understand why it is so lacking in charm or anything resembling the original's screenplay, which he wrote.
Even if the original didn't have subtitles, the story would have come through. This version was just a so-so B movie.

I almost didn't bother watching Let Me In because I had already seen LTROI.
Luckily I gave it chance because I liked LMI a lot more. You probably don't like how much different the characters are, but that's why I liked LMI so much more.
It's kinda funny that you actually bothered to read the credits at the end and gave JAL more credit than most LTROI fans do as a result. A lot of LTROI fans try to insist that LMI was trying hard to hide where the source material came from. But as you noticed, it's all right there in the credits. Second thing that pops up even.
