Master of Horror Stephen King Hails Let Me In “a Triumph”

Critical acclaim for director Matt Reeves’ haunting thriller LET ME IN, has reached new heights with legendary horror author Stephen King not only giving the film his stamp of approval, but by deeming it a triumph.

This latest accolade further elevates the film’s critical success, with Stephen King saying “LET ME IN is a genre-busting triumph. Not just a horror film, but the best American horror film in the last 20 years. Whether you’re a teenager or a film-lover in your 50’s, you’ll be knocked out. Rush to it now. You can thank me later.”

LET ME IN is a haunting coming-of-age tale and provocative thriller written and directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield), and produced by horror brand Hammer Films. It tells the story of Owen, a social outcast who is bullied at school, and befriends his neighbour, a mysterious 12 year old girl, who he comes to realise is like no-one he has ever met before.

Based on the best-selling Swedish book Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and the highly acclaimed film of the same name, it stars Australia’s very own AFI winner Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road), as well as Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass), and Richard Jenkins (The Visitor).

LET ME IN will release in New Zealand cinemas nationally on November 25.
