Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Owen is a lonely little boy who is bullied at school and largely ignored at home by his single mum, yet things begin to look up when a young girl moves into the same housing block.
As they form a close bond he learns her secret, that she also happens to be a vampire and has a need to feed. Let Me In is a hard film to review. It is perfectly well made, with plenty of action and an interesting exploration of social conventions. Yet it inevitably suffers from comparison with Let the Right One In, the Swedish source released just two years earlier, which pretty much does everything better; so unless you have a pathological fear of subtitles, there is not much point looking past the original.
