Vampires are getting younger and younger in movies. In the Twilight series, they are teens, but in this movie called Let Me In, the primary vampire is a kid, and a girl at that. Like in the first Twilight, the girl vampire enters the life of a neighbor kid who’s the target of bullies in school. With a “vampirelet” on the boy’s side, the bullies get what’s coming and end up dead.

Now, we all know that bullying is bad and that bullies sometimes create lifelong emotional problems in their victims, but hey, they don’t deserve to be killed! They’re just also kids like their victims after all and still have a lot to learn about life as they grow up! But that's how it is in the movies. Still, the idea of a bodyguard vampire is something that a bullied kid’s imagination can conjure up, oh, so easily. In the backs of bullied kids, this notion is likely something that they have either entertained or got lost into as an escape from the social challenges they face. For boys, the vampire being a girl should be a plus that fuels the budding emotions of puberty.

But we digress. So let’s veer away from all this shrink-talk and get back to the movie Let Me In, which is more of a friendship-gone-bad movie anyway, with one character that so happens to be a girl who can’t stand sunlight and sucks the blood of people to live. In the story, the beleaguered boy, Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee), finds solace with vampire girl, Abby (Chloe Moretz) who seems to be in need of a friend herself or a commensalist partnership where she, a predator in all respects, would benefit without her having to do harm to or destroy the boy. In one conversation, the vampire girl attempts to manipulate the young boy by insinuating that he should kill for revenge. To the viewers, it’s an obvious attempt to win the boy in the hopes of getting victims that deserve to die. It implies a conscience on the part of the vampire character.

The movie is like E.T. where a boy befriends a good alien who helps out in his life. But there’s nothing good about a human bloodsucking girl who kills people—even when the girl explains that it’s something that she has to do. She’s still a menace to society and her picking an innocent boy as an assistant is kind of perverse. Aren’t vampire assistants all old and ugly and called by either Hugo or Igor? Anyway, Abby does indeed solve Owen’s social problems, but her involvement does create new and more serious ones that endanger the boy’s life and lead him into a spiral down a darkness that he may never get out of.

Let Me in is directed and co-written by Matt Reeves, who’s been in the background of the television series Felicity for so many years. The other writer is Swede, John Ajvide Lindqvist, who actually wrote the novel, with an earlier movie version called "Let the Right One In", which was released in Sweden in 2008. Let Me In, is considered a horror, romance, fantasy, drama, but even if it stars kids like Moretz (left), it’s not for kids since it deals with adult themes like "warm-blooded" murder.
