Let Me In

My wife and I decided to see "Let Me In" today. We went to the 4:20 matinee and settled in for the movie.
The movie starts out okay, slightly suspenseful, but keeping my attention. It takes place during the early 80's so the hairstyles, clothing, and home decor took some getting used to. Trying not to give too many details, this preteen boy lives with his mother and when some new people move into the apartment next door, he tries to make friends with a girl near his age. He slowly comes to discover that something isn't right with her, but desperately needs a friend to help him deal with his school bullies, and the stress of his religious alcoholic mother divorcing his father.
Overall, the movie wasn't bad, especially for a matinee. I thought that several scenes were dragged out a little bit too long, but not rediculously so. Also, there were several smaller climaxes, instead of one major climax that turns the movie. This slightly disappointed me, because I kept asking myself, when is the movie going to peak? And it kind of never did. Not that it was bad. I still enjoyed the movie...it just never really reached one MAJOR climax. In the end, I felt mostly satisfied, but did have several questions.
So in conclusion, I would recommend this movie, but I would say go to the matinee. It was pretty good, not extremely scary, but had decent suspense. Not a bad movie to take a girl to if she likes scary (but not too scary) movies.
