Apparent delight seeps into almost every frame, giving the film a guileless warmth that drew my good will.

Let Us In is a facade of horror-lite banality filled with faux teen drama and unfunny quips from unrealistic characters. My recommendation, don't let them in.

Even budding horror nerds know when a film neither huffs nor puffs, but merely blows.

The dull, non-frightening night creatures stalking our young heroes inspire all the dread of a 1960s Star Trek villain lost on the set of Goosebumps.

The exploration of an interesting urban legend in a forgettable package.

While Let Us In has a promising horror sci-fi premise, it squanders its potential by never finding any depth, nuance, or resonance in a legend kids actually find authentically creepy.

This film was terrible. Horrible writing, horrible acting, horrible casting, horrible. To any critic that went positive on this, find a new career.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

It had so much potential but whoever wrote the script has no idea how kids speak. Super unrealistic lines and makes it impossible to view any of the characters as relatable or even realistic

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Despite tonal incongruence and younger target demographic, Let Us In is a perfectly fine way to spend an afternoon.

A movie for kids, and not of the good kind. Plain and boring, characters unrealistic and story totally bland without an actual sense.

A movie that had no budget that focuses on a bunch of kids taking on supernatural beings.
