Clip doesn't pull me in.
The original "Let the Right One In" movie was a great film. Scary, creepy, yet heartwarming in strange ways.
It was also not very American at all in terms of how the scenes were conceived, staged or performed. In had a very old school 'quiet slowness' to the film. There are also some scenes that will definitely NOT be in the American version, no way no how, the morality of movies is too different here.
Therefore I am very interested in seeing the remake to compare them (especially since she is too young to see R-Rated movies, lol).
I am also interested in seeing how Chloe Moretz handles the basic ambiguity of the character. Making the character very emotional yet very reserved and vague in how strong those emotions are and what they mean was central to the character in the first film.
I am also to understand the American film will attempt to be more of a new film adaptation of the book rather than a remake of the earlier film.
Story Arcs I created:
Every Rose: (#17702) Villainous vs Legacy Chain. Forget Arachnos, join the CoT!
Cosplay Madness!: (#3643) Neutral vs Custom Foes. Heroes at a pop culture convention!
Kiss Hello Goodbye: (#156389) Heroic vs Custom Foes. Film Noir/Hardboiled detective adventure!
As a fan of the book, the movie (this American loved the pacing of it) and Chloe Moretz, I'm pretty excited to see where they go with this.

Here's the link to the Shadowrush.com article, where I embedded the clip and the trailer as well (for those who haven't seen it yet).
Here's a synopsis:
Let Me In, a haunting and provocative thriller written and directed by filmmaker Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and produced by legendary British horror brand Hammer Films, is an astonishing coming-of-age story between a young girl and an alienated young boy unlike any other you have seen. Based on the best-selling Swedish novel Lat den Ratte Komma (Let the Right One In) by John Ajvide Lindqvist and the highly acclaimed film of the same name, Let Me In takes audiences straight to the troubled heart of adolescent longing and loneliness.
