Remake Reviews!

Let Me In (2010) : I was kinda excited to see what they were going to do with this one because the original "Let The Right One In" is an amazing movie. I'm going to start off saying I hope you watch the original first. These two movies are exactly the same except for the cast of course which is pretty good. But the only big difference is the original is so much better. Don't get me wrong the remake isn't bad it's just the same and I would rather watch the original over the remake. It's 1983 and twelve-year-old Owen is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father . A frail, troubled child about Owen's age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond. When a string of grisly murders puts the town on high alert, Abby's father disappears, and the terrified girl is left to fend for herself. Still, she repeatedly rebuffs Owen's efforts to help her and her increasingly bizarre behavior leads the imaginative Owen to suspect she's hiding an unthinkable secret. I give this one a 7. 

I Spit On Your Grave (2010) : I wasn't too sure about this one because the original is so good. But what can I say they did an awesome job on this remake. The storyline of course was good and very similar to the original but the casting was perfect. This has some scenes that make you cringe and that is always a good sign of a good horror movie.  When writer Jennifer Hills takes a retreat from the city to a charming cabin in the woods to start on her next book. But Jennifer's presence in the small town attracts the attention of a few morally deprived locals who set out one night to teach this city girl a lesson. They break into her cabin to scare her. However, what starts out as terrifying acts of humiliation and intimidation, quickly and uncontrollably escalates into a night of physical abuse and torturous assault. But before they can kill her, Jennifer sacrifices her broken and beaten body to a raging river that washes her away. As time passes, the men slowly stop searching for her body and try to go back to life as usual. But that isn't about to happen. Against all odds, Jennifer Hills survived her ordeal. Now, with hell bent vengeance, Jennifer's sole purpose is to turn the tables on these animals and to inflict upon them every horrifying and torturous moment they carried out on her only much, much worse. This one get a 9.5.
