- TriviaElias Koteas, who plays the police detective, also provides the voice of Owen's father John.
- GoofsAccording to the canon of modern vampire stories, the scene where Abby comes in uninvited and begins to bleed to death shouldn't have happened: Owen had already invited her into the apartment in a previous scene, and if a vampire is invited in once they never have to be invited again. But this detail is a relatively new addition to vampire lore, and only applies to specific depictions. Historical mythologies have stated that all supernatural beings are unable to enter a house unless they are invited, but the first novel about vampires ('The Vampyre', John William Polidori, 1819) did not mention this requirement, which was first applied to vampires in 'Dracula' (Bram Stoker, 1897) - but permission was required each time the vampire entered the house. Modern vampire stories in television and film (Thuần Huyết (2008), Nhật Ký Ma Cà Rồng (2009), Kẻ Được Chọn (1997)) changed this requirement, such that permission to enter need only be granted once. In 'Let Me In' (and in the source novel and film), permission must be granted every time.
- Crazy creditsThe movie's end credits are in the form of black text on a white background, which is the opposite of most movie credits, which are usually white text on a black background.

Featured review
The Curse of Who You Are...
A remake that's almost as good as the original.
What would you do, if you just couldn't change, so set in your ways, with habits quite strange; how would you live, in a divisive world, when the city's awake, while you're hidden and furled; would you hold out your hand, to stave off the brink, would you stake all you've got, just float and not sink; when you look in the mirror and nothing is there, in the darkness of night, only pain and despair; then a saviour appears, with their own set of fears, an innocent soul, undefiled, sincere; someone to trust, a protector by day, who'll carry your secret and promise to stay; unaware of the pact that you've drawn them into, endeavours they'll end up performing for you; until the time comes, to repeat and replay, like a school game of tag, I think it's called child's play.
