Cloverfield director Matt Reeves has signed to write and direct the horror remake Let the Right One In. Just couple of days back we featured the trailer and the tentative release dates for the film. The film is genre bending horror movie.

The horror film is about a bullied boy whose desire for revenge becomes intertwined with his growing love for a girl who happens to be a vampire, began showing at festivals at the beginning of the year. Hammer Films picked up the rights for the film. The film won the best narrative feature award at the recent Tribeca Film Festival.

The original film is based on the bestselling novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist.

“I was immediately taken by both the novel and the Swedish Film of ‘Let the Right one In’ which are just so unique,” Reeves said. “I found them not only terrifying but incredibly moving, and I am very excited about adapting them into an American context.”

The recently revived Hammer Films, a British horror powerhouse in the 1950s and 60s intend to remake its own classic films in addition to acquiring other original properties. So this is surely going to be an interesting remake. But how far it is going to resemble the original is still to be seen. Matt Reeves is right now in the directing chair for The Pallbearer.
