  "description": "Let Me In is a surprisingly tender and sweet film that happens to feature blood, immolation and dismemberment. It's incredibly easy to screw up remakes, vampire movies and remakes of vampire movies (I haven't watched the original yet — give me a minute). Eat some now. Save some for later. This applies to candy, but not people. You eat all of the people. Right now. At it's core, Let Me In , is an adolescent love story. Owen and Abby are both tortured (in very different ways, granted). Abby helps Owen navigate a distinctly human situation, urging him to defend himself and then by radically escalating things near the conclusion of the film. Owen helps Abby feel less alone, less monstrous and more human. That bond sees them escape, together and leaves me wondering if something similar had played out with Abby's \"father\". How old is Abby? How old was he when they met? Will Abby's affliction lead Owen down the same path?",
