Well OK, its obvious, money. Let the right one in was such a good film, of course Hollywood were going to grab it, dumb it down, and cash in.
But what made Let the right one in so special, was how different it was, Let me in looses most of what made the original so good. the 'Swimming pool scene' a good example of this. One of the finest scenes ever filmed, turned into a very average scene here.
Of course most people who watch this film, will not have watched the original, or even know of it's existence, it had subtitles to read! So many people will watch 'let me in' as a stand alone film, which for that reason, makes this film actually pretty good.
If you can't or don't want to watch the original, then this film will do nicely. If you've seen the original, you know exactly what to expect from this, so you might as well not bother.
