Anchor Bay shot over a news release announcing their upcoming release of LET ME IN to both Blu-ray and DVD come Feb. 1st and I'm betting you need to know all about it.

Here's the complete press release that spills all the beans:

A bullied young boy befriends a young female vampire in the thriller,Let Me In, available on Blu-ray and DVD on February 1^st, 2011 from Anchor Bay Entertainment. Written and directed by filmmaker Matt Reeves (Cloverfield), Let Me In is based on the best-selling Swedish novel Låt den Rätte Komma In (Let The Right One In) by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and the highly acclaimed film of the same name. The film’s score is by Oscar, Emmy- and Grammy-winning composer Michael Giacchino (Up, Lost).

Starring Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road), Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass), Elias Koteas (Shutter Island), Cara Buono (The Sopranos), and Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins (The Visitor),Let Me In is a poignant coming-of-age story as well as a bone-chilling horror film. In a pop-culture landscape littered with the bloodthirsty undead, the 2010 release from Overture Films Let Me In stands out as a very different kind of vampire movie a haunting meditation on the difficult and often painful transition into adolescence.

Genre fans and DVD aficionados will be thrilled with the generous amount of bonus features on the Let Me In Blu-ray and DVD, including the much-talked-about visual effects piece, Car Crash Sequence Step-By-Step, with commentary from Director Matt Reeves; From The Inside: A Look at the Making of Let Me In; The Art of Special Effects; Unrated Deleted Scenes; Trailer Gallery: Greenband Trailer, Redband Trailer; and a Poster and Still Gallery. The Blu-ray edition also includes the Blu-ray exclusive: Dissecting Let Me In, as well as a digital copy of the film. And if that wasn't enough, both editions include a Let Me In comic book with an exclusive cover designed by award winning comic book artist Sean Phillips. A graphic novel will be released next year.

Here's what the critics have to say about Let Me In:

In bleak New Mexico, a lonely, bullied boy, Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee), forms a unique bond with his mysterious new neighbor, Abby (Chloë Grace Moretz), who moves from town to town with the man who appears to be her father (Richard Jenkins). Trapped in the mind and body of a child, however, Abby is forced to hide a horrific secret of bloodthirsty survival. But in a world of both tenderness and terror, how can you invite in the one friend who may unleash the ultimate nightmare?

Based on the Swedish novel, Let the Right One In, Let Me In is a dark and violent love story, a beautiful piece of cinema and a respectful rendering of my novel for which I am grateful, says the book’s author, John Ajvide Lindqvist.
