Three New Clips from 'Let Me In'

As much as I love the original film (it's number five on my top thirteen list), I'm really looking forward to this new production from Hammer. What I most admire is the way the cinematography captures the particular fairy tale feeling of certain scenes of the novel, and in a way that's more "Starry Night" than Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen. I get the feeling this version will build more on the momentum of the narrative, so any single clip isn't a full indication of what's afoot, beyond showing differences of interpretation of the source material. Anyway, the classic Hammer Horror film put more emphasis on visuals than on narrative, creating gorgeous Gothic settings both dreamlike and lurid. Of course, the unconventional stories always left some food for thought, especially if someone like Terrence Fisher was writing and directing, but they've always privileged style over substance. So yeah, I'm really excited to see the return of Hammer, I even placed an order for a stylish Curse of Frankenstein messenger bag to herald the occasion.
