Moretz 'hasn't seen Let The Right One In'

Chloe Moretz has admitted that she hasn't seen Let The The Right One In, the Swedish film on which her upcoming vampire drama Let Me In is based.

The 13-year-old, whose new movie Kick-Ass opens on March 26, claimed that she wants to keep her interpretation separate from counterpart Lina Leandersson.

"I didn't watch Let The Right One In before I went in for the role," she told Movieline. "I watched parts of it - just little snippets - but no, I still haven't watched the whole thing. I don't know - I kind of did my own thing with it, you know? It's a really different role than most vampires."

Discussing her character Abby, Moretz added that she will not portray a "glamourised vampire".

"The way we did it was that it's not cool to be a vampire," she explained. "It's a burden that she has to carry with her, not this fun, cool, interesting thing. It's scary, deep, and dark, this devil inside of her. The vampire is different than Abby. It's like her alternate personality, and when it takes her over, she has no control."

Let Me In, which centres on a bullied boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who befriends a female vampire when she moves into his neighbourhood, opens in cinemas this October.
