LET ME IN: “Amputation” Scene Missing

let-me-in-amputation-missing-scene-header

I recently saw Let Me In – a few hours ago – and was looking forward to a particular scene from John Ajvide Lindqvist’s book Let the Right One In in the movie. I will not ruin the nature of the amputation scene from the book but it evolves the past and Abby (Chloe Moretz). The reason I believed this scene was in the film was because of the Let Me In movie trailer and this still from the film. Notice the rings on the hand holding down Abby’s head on a table and the old school nails (from the movie trailer).

One scene in Let Me In that actually speaks to this deleted scene was when Abby chides The Father (Richard Jenkins) in a non-little girl voice. Let Me In is a horror film after all. Horrible things to happen to people in these films. The depicted scene in the photo is not present in the film and seems to have been deleted. It may show up on DVD and Blu-ray. Did you read the book, see the movie trailer and the film, and notice the missing scene?

Update

The scene in question has been released.
