Kodi Smit-McPhee
After turning in superb performances in Romulus, My Father with Eric Bana and The Road with Viggo Mortenson,
Kodi gets to play against someone his own age. As Owen, the lonely boy with no place to turn, he gets a chance to be
the main man...er boy. AND he gets to a kiss a girl!
Chloe Moretz
This young lady is already showing some serious chops. After portraying the pint-sized Punisher Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass (what,
you've only watched this six times?), she gets to creep us out as the unworldly Abby who doesn't get cold, doesn't eat candy
but can solve a Rubik's cube with the best of them. AND she gets to kiss a boy!
Elias Koteas
Now who of us doesn't remember Casey Jones in Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle? Or the conflicted cop Thomas Daggett in
The Prophecy? As the weary but dogged Policeman in Let Me In he shows us again why
he is an unstoppable force in any film
in which he appears. I've been watching him for going on thirty years and I'm always impressed by the way he can always capture
the perfect essence of his role. Thanks for all of them!
Richard Jenkins
To me, The Father was the scariest character in this film. Even with that daffy disguise he still managed to be terrifying and
tragic at the same time. With a long history of solid performaces, including an award-winning starring role in The Visitor,
Richard brought it all with him this time. Look for him in The Cabin In The Woods next year!
The Bullies:

Jimmy "Jax" Pinchak
Nicolai Dorian
Brett DelBuono
Dylan Minnette
These guys tormented Owen mercilessly and forced him to make choices no one should have to make.
When they get their comeuppance, no one is going to cry for them. Let's face it --they were asking for it!
