Abby and Owen Meet in Second ‘Let Me In’ Pic
Inside you’ll find your first look at Kodi Smit-McPhee as Owen as he talks to vampire Abby (Chloe Moretz) in Overture and Hammer Films’ Let Me In, which arrives in theaters October 1. Based on the bestselling Swedish novel, “Lat den Ratte Komma In” (“Let the Right One In”), by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let Me In follows an alienated 12-year-old boy who befriends a mysterious young newcomer in his small New Mexico town, and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood. Directed by filmmaker Matt Reeves (Cloverfield), take a peak at the first image of Chloe Moretz as Abby here.
“We tried to create the approaching, foreboding dread of movies like ‘The Shining,’ where you feel like something wicked is unraveling and it’s not going to end well,” Reeves tells the LA Times. “That’s what I responded to about the original, the juxtaposition of those tones, this very disturbing story but at the center of it there are these very tender emotions. That’s a very unusual mix, and that’s what drew me in and dug into me.”
