So much more has happened in Comic-Con and undoubtedly people can say this was one of – if not THE BEST – Comic-Con experiences we’ve been through (Swiff, we have to go next year).

First up of my favourite news, a new trailer for ‘Let Me In’, the American remake of the Swedish horror success ‘Let The Right One In’, which stars Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloe Moretz, Richard Jenkins, Elias Koteas, Cara Buono, Sasha Barrese. Directed by Matt Reeves.

If you never watched the original (which was only a year ago) the plot goes: A terrifying tale of an alienated 12-year old boy named Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who 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 (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins). 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.

Unique bond of DEATH!! Fans at Comic-Con were treated to a footage of the movie and got a positive feedback from the crowd, and I have no doubt this will be a horror film worth watching in a long time. Checkout the new trailer below:

Its released in the US October 1st, let us know what you think.
