SYNOPSIS
Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) memang punya masalah dalam bersosialisasi. Karena selalu jadi korban bullying Owen lebih suka menyendiri ketimbang bermain bersama teman-teman sebayanya. Saat bertemu Abby (Chloë Moretz), Owen menemukan kesamaan pada diri gadis kecil ini. Tak perlu waktu lama buat keduanya untuk jadi teman meski ternyata Abby menyimpan satu rahasia yang tak diketahui Owen.
Seperti juga Owen, Abby juga tak punya teman. Malahan Abby jauh lebih ekstrem dibanding Owen. Abby hanya keluar setelah matahari tenggelam dan ia juga tak pernah mengenakan alas kaki, seolah dinginnya salju di telapak kaki tak membuat Abby resah. Satu-satunya orang yang dekat dengan Abby hanyalah ayah Abby yang juga tak suka bergaul dengan para tetangga di sana.
Ketika suatu hari ayah Abby menghilang, Owen berusaha untuk memberikan bantuan pada gadis kecil berusia 12 tahun ini. Meski Abby selalu menolak namun langkah Owen tak pernah surut. Saat semakin dekat, Owen baru sadar kalau Abby bukanlah gadis biasa. Ada yang aneh pada gadis kecil ini. Dan saat warga kota mulai menghilang satu per satu, Owen mulai sadar kalau Abby sebenarnya bukanlah manusia. Let Me In (2010), gadis ‘jadi-jadian’ yang penyendiri & misterius

RESENSI
Let Me In is a 2010 American drama/horror film directed by Matt Reeves. It is based on the 2008 Swedish film Let the Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in), directed by Tomas Alfredson, and the novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist. It tells the story of a bullied 12-year-old boy who develops a friendship with a vampire child in a New Mexico town in the early 1980s.
Plot
In 1983 in Los Alamos, New Mexico, a police detective (Elias Koteas) enters the hospital room of a disfigured man (Richard Jenkins) and tells him that he will catch whoever else is in league with him, but is then called out to take a phone call. While he is on the phone, a scream is heard, and the detective finds the suspect has fallen out of the window to his death. The man had scribbled a note: "I'm sory Abby" (sic).
Flashback to two weeks earlier, Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a very unhappy and lonely 12-year-old child, who is neglected by his divorcing parents and continually harassed by cruel bullies. Owen harbors considerable anger against the school bullies; he often enacts imaginary fights where he stabs various targets representing the bullies. While peering at neighbors from his bedroom window with a telescope, he notices a girl (Chloë Moretz) and a middle-aged man who appears to be her "father" move in next door.
One evening, when Owen is alone in the courtyard, practicing one of his imaginary fights, his actions are observed by the girl who starts the first conversation with Owen. Her name is revealed to be Abby, who claims to be 12 years old. Abby tells Owen that they cannot be friends, but regardless Abby and Owen grow closer, seeing each other at night and communicating by Morse code through the walls of their apartments. At school the main bully, Kenny (Dylan Minnette) scars Owen with an antenna rod; when Abby finds out about this she tells him to defend himself and she will help him if needed.
Meanwhile, Abby's "father" goes out nightly to kill local residents to acquire blood for the vampiric Abby. During his first murder he accidentally spills the blood. A furious Abby feeds off and kills a jogger who lives in the same neighborhood; the father dumps the body in a lake so that Abby is not incriminated. Abby continues developing her relationship with Owen and the father asks Abby to stop seeing Owen, but she does not.
One night, the father hides in a high school student’s car, who ends up bringing a passenger. While the driver stops at a gas station, the father kills the passenger and gets in a car accident. Trapped, the father douses his face with acid so that his connection to Abby will not be discovered. The father is taken to the hospital; when Abby hears this on the news, she climbs up outside his window. Abby drinks his blood after the father silently implores her to do so, and he falls out to his death.
Abby goes to Owen's window while he is asleep and asks him if she can come in. Owen allows her into his room, and he asks her to be his girlfriend, which she grudgingly accepts. The detective gradually learns of the protector's connection to Abby. The next day on a field trip for school, Owen stands up to Kenny and hits him with a pole, splitting his ear. That night, when Owen tells Abby, she approvingly kisses him on the cheek. He then takes her to an abandoned area of the complex where he cuts his finger to make a blood pact with her. Abby is drawn to the blood falling to the ground; she licks it up and Owen sees her vampiric face, but instead of attacking Owen, Abby runs away and attacks Virginia (Sasha Barrese), a woman in the complex park, but is chased off by her boyfriend, Larry (Dylan Kenin).
Owen becomes afraid and calls to his estranged father, who ends the phone call quickly. Owen then proceeds to Abby's apartment. She tells him she needs blood to live. As Owen looks through Abby's belongings, it becomes clear from old photos that the middle-aged man who protected her was not her father, but that many years ago, he was a boy she knew. Owen becomes frightened and leaves Abby's apartment. At the hospital, the police officer learns from Larry that Abby attacked Virginia. A few seconds later, a vampiric Virginia begins to feed on the blood in her arm from her IV. When a nurse opens the blinds to the daylight, she bursts into flames, setting fire to the nurse and the hospital room.
Abby visits one night when Owen's mother (Cara Buono) is away. Owen opens the door for her and she tells him he needs to invite her in. He asks why, so she enters without an invitation, which causes her to bleed heavily until he verbally acquiesces. Abby confidently tells Owen that she knew he would not let her die. Abby showers and Owen offers her one of his mother`s dresses, but she leaves when his mother returns. The next morning, the detective heads to Abby's apartment and breaks in. He finds Abby asleep in the bathroom and tries to shine the daylight to see her, partially burning Abby, but Owen distracts him. Abby kills the detective and leaves that night after her identity is discovered. A taxi takes Abby to her new destination, as Owen watches from the window and cries.
During gym class, Kenny, his older brother Jimmy, and friends start a fire outside to distract the teacher (Ritchie Coster) and clear out the swimming pool. Jimmy tells Owen that if he can survive underwater for three minutes, then he will cut Owen's cheek; if he cannot he will poke an eye out. Owen is held underwater by Jimmy and struggles to hold his breath. He is saved by Abby, who has returned to help him as she promised and dismembers the four bullies. Abby and Owen exit as snow falls from a broken window into the bloodstained pool.
The film concludes with Owen travelling on a train, with Abby beside him in a box to avoid the sunlight. Inside, Abby taps the word "kiss" to Owen in Morse code, which he taps back.
