The Swedish film let the right One In is set during a Nordic winter so bleak that just watching it practically makes your nose run. The two main characters—a lonely, ostracized boy and the creepy, bedraggled girl who befriends him—are as somber and mournful as the chilly, austere landscape. The movie was a critical hit in America and is currently being remade here, retitled Let Me In. Set in sunny New Mexico. Starring two appealingly pink-cheeked, glossy-haired tween actors. The film hasn't been released, but howls of protest are already ricocheting around cyberspace, where the consensus is that remakes inevitably suck. As one commenter cracked, "Who is going to do the voice of the lovable, wisecracking, skateboarding dog?"
