It's not a remake. It's an adaptation of the same book. Like The Thing.
John Ajvide Lindqvist's thoughts on it:

I might just be the luckiest writer alive. To have not only one, but two excellent versions of my debut novel done for the screen feels unreal. Let The Right One In is a great Swedish movie. Let Me In is a great American movie. There are notable similarities and the spirit of Tomas Alfredson is present. But Let Me In puts the emotional pressure in different places and stands firmly on its own legs. Like the Swedish movie it made me cry, but not at the same points. 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. Again.

But really, if you don't want to see it, don't see it. I'm not going to try to convince someone to see a movie they don't want to see. To each their own.
This isn't directed at you, just something I'm tired of hearing that relates to the topic. I'm baffled at people saying "Why don't you see the original? Because you're too lazy to read the subtitles in the original version?" when the original version is a book that 95% of the people calling people who saw Let Me In lazy haven't bothered to read.
