No doubt, LET ME IN was a huge winner at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. Matt Reeves' adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel and the Swedish film by Lindqvist and director Tomas Alfredson built upon the positive reaction many found themselves surprised to have at its first trailer and with an excellent clip, turned it into actual excitement.
