| Special Features: |
- Audio Commentary: Director/Writer Matt Reeves covers a lot of ground in short order, speaking on his fear of remaking an already great new movie, the picture's tone, its score and the inclusion of popular music, the themes and how the characters define them, his research for the project, the process of shooting particular scenes, the quality of the performances, and much more. It sounds like a fairly standard commentary roster, but Reeves manages to give it a fresh and invigorating feel, no doubt helped by the quality of the film he's discussing. Fans will definitely want to find two hours to spend with this track.
- From the Inside: A Look at the Making of Let Me In (1080p, 17:04): A solid all-around making-of piece that explores not only the making of the film -- the shooting locales, the film's visuals and mood, the casting process, and special effects -- but the history of the story and the meaning behind it. Cast and crew passionately recount their experiences and thoughts about the entirety of the film and eschew the typical "must sell the movie" sort of generic feel. If only more "making of" featurettes were as good as this, but then again much of the quality stems from the power of the film being discussed.
- The Art of Special Effects (1080p, 6:29): A focused look at the making of the film's special effects, covering various scenes in different stages of completion. The piece eschews voiceover narration in favor of simply showing the scenes as they go through the digital process.
- Car Crash Sequence Step-By-Step (1080p, 5:34): An in-depth look at the process of making the film's unique car crash scene. This piece features voiceover narration, stills from the set, computer animatics, and more.
- Picture-in-Picture Exclusive: Dissecting Let Me In (1080p): A secondary window appears from time to time (not often enough, fans will think) to primarily show cast and crew discussing the film. Much of the material repeats from the standalone featurettes.
- Deleted Scenes (480p/1080p, 5:05): Solving the Puzzle, Reaching Out, and Be Me (1080p) with optional Writer/Director commentary.
- Trailer Gallery (1080p): Greenband Trailer (2:22) and Redband Trailer (2:27).
- Poster & Still Gallery (1080p).
- Also on Blu-ray (1080p): Additional Anchor Bay titles.
