The support of King

It might be too late to breathe life into the moribund "Let Me In," but as Jeffrey Wells notes on his blog "Hollywood Elsewhere" Stephen King has chimed in calling it "the best American horror film in 20 years." I couldn't agree more.

And why didn't the studio play up the whole bullying theme in the movie? Seems pretty timely to me. Maybe because the remedy suggested is a little extreme.

And to all those fans of "Let the Right One In" who boycotted the remake because you knew for sure it was going to be a Hollywood rip-off and an offense to your sensibilities: well done!

But why listen to me? Take King's advice: "Whether you're a teenager or a film-lover in your 50s, you'll be knocked out. Rush to it now. You can thank me later."
