  • this version is so much better that the american one

    no doubt about that!

  • så jävla vacker film och historia

  • the girl seem enchanting enough but that boy looks plain silly and weird and gorky looking. no wonder he gets it at school.

  • @BRm2008 They're both male...

  • @roberto18giron I agree I think the hollywood version has better avting stil the original is kinda groundbreaking and so a lot of people think hollywood shouldnt have gone that far.

  • @roberto18giron SWEDEN!!!!!!

  • @roberto18giron persons like you give America a bad rep thanks :)

  • Im trying to find this book but all the libraries i have visited don’t have it ; _ ; 

  • that was an amazingly constructed juxtaposition of scenes. Spot on for the plot.

    great job keeping the story seceret but showing such an amazaing variety of pieces.

    great job again.

  • The "Let Me In" movie is going to ruin this, isn't it?

  • They are remaking it to Americanize it. A lot of Americans wouldn't take the time to watch the entire Swedish version with subtitles. Also, it may not be seen as "scary" enough to the average American. Horror, horror, horror.

  • @rebekahbowe

    im american. i love let the right one in. im disapointed theyre remaking it.

    we did a review of the film talking it up a lot. its going to be way better than the first.

    check user name.

    moviesyoumiss

    great verbal review.

  • this movie is awesome but i dont like how there remaking it gosh cant directors come up with there own ideas

  • @spicypeanut103 the main reason y they are remaking it is so ppl that live here in the us or the uk is that so we can enjoy the story

  • @TensaZangetsu2189 im sorry but some remakes are terrbile and just ruin a good classic movie franchise

  • theyre making an american version called "let me in"

  • thumbs up if u came here because u saw the trailer for let me in!!!

  • @Robotm0nKey121 idk if anybody else will....but I did! :DDD

  • @XxTaylor88xX lol i bet ur the only one

  • This movie is kick but come paird to twialight

  • Why even comparing this great movie and twilight? Edward Cullen is nothing more then a glorified mosquito. That glitters. I rest my case...

  • Best movie with vampires I have ever seen.

  • this is a great movie much better then twilight 

  • Fuck twilight

  • God bless you, and fuck Twilight.

  • best vampire movie ever......twilight actors should watch dis film

  • Twilight had Actors?

    The shadow of the Vampire, Interview with a Vampire and Bram Stokers Dracula were also very well made... my top four anyway.

  • "Will you be my girlfriend?"

    This is a very unique quote in these circumstances, for it shows how, from such dark and desperate times, love could rise anyway, no matter how many obstacles are present.

  • but he didnt know at the time she was a vampire.

  • @pietroerperugino, It is also fucked up because the vampire "girl" is actually a vampire guy xD read the book

  • @bettanand, I actually read it, and I know what happened to that poor soul that is Eli, but as I said to others early on, the boy that was Elias died along with his Dignity, and from that loss Eli was born. So, to me at least, who Eli was before becoming what she is, is at this point irrelevant.

    Besides, if there can be no real love between Oskar and her, there can be at least a platonic love and strong, if not unbreakable, friendship.

    Least I think so...

  • This film is about Oska and Elias little boy who had been castrated. It is a beautiful story - this trailer gives you an idea it will be scary - not really: - it portrays Eli as emotional and fragile - bad hygiene, sleeps in a bath tub and lives with a pedophile. beautiful scenes - for me I knew this film would be special when she kills a victim because he is starving; then breaks the victims neck but cries his heart out on the body because he knew he has to live but has killed an innocent.

  • IS THIS FILM FOREIGN?

  • Yes, it is a swedish film.

  • What a beautiful movie. This is everything, Twilight isn't. Smart, funny, sincere, well written, well acted, emotional and thought provoking.

    10/10

  • Wow, this looks terrifying. I have to see it.

  • It's awesome! But despite being very dark its first of all very melancholic and silent. don't expect gore.

  • neroxero, it really isnt Twilight. Twilight is awful, ive read this book and it is wonderful and im sure the movie is magically embracing aswell

  • yes twilight is horrible. lol

  • No, This is nothing like Twilight..

    This is good.

  • The director of this movie took a chance at being original and made a movie that doesn't follow worn out old formulas. He nailed it and should be honored for creating an honest piece of art that really was a thinking person's movie. 5 stars!

  • well said. truly

  • Thank you!

  • Thank you!

  • What about the author of the book? Surely he's the one who should be getting the honors considering it was his idea in the first place.

  • Fair enough. Point made. However a really bad director could have taken good material and ruined it. You are correct. The writer deserves credit too!

  • =)

    I ordered the book along with the film. I'm still undecided which to start first.

  • They supposedly have a better version with improved subtitles. Hopefully you'll be getting the newer one.

    When you do watch the movie I recommend watching it in its' original Swedish. The default setting for some reason is the English dub...SKIP IT!

    I am considering the book soon!

  • Yes - I ordered the original Swedish with english Subs. I always prefer english subs in all films I tend to buy.

    I think I'll watch the movie first and then read the book! =)

  • Where did you order it from? Is it the one with the words "Theatrical Release?"

    I do know that the book and the move are different. Anyway, it's a great film! Next to Slumdog Millionaire, it's the best film of 2008!

  • I got it from amazon co uk - don't think it had Theatrical Release on it. Don't quote me on that, though. I ordered it a while ago now and I'm starting to get impatient for it! I know for fact it didn't come dubbed cos people complained about it on the review thing.

    I have children - it does funny things to my memory. D=

  • they are not that different; the movie is faithful to the book but cannot fit all the detail in

  • @kedwilkins The author of the ebook also wrote the screenplay for the movie...

  • film 1st - The girl whos plays Eli will then give you an image of what Eli should look like - I chose movie then book:- the book filled in the gaps and was beautiful - the movie made me weep the book made me cry when u learn more about Eli.

  • always begin with the original

  • well the author - John Ajvide Lindqvist - also wrote the script for this movie

  • All the more reason to give him the honors then, no?

  • @MGR1900 I heard he was shocked when they announced that a remake in the works. He said that remakes can only be made if it can be done better if the original failed first time round.

  • @clashrogers I do have to admit it is strange timing. It's kind of an insult to be making a remake so soon however. Hopefully it will bring more exposure to the original if anything. I'm thinking perhaps that both movies will compliment each other but it sounds like a risky move to make a remake so soon.

  • Bah I'm American and I can tell you hollywood will fuck this up.

    It has too many school age sexual undertones, the atmosphere is different.

    They will probably get rid of all of that make it two boys instead of a girl, write off the sexual undertones, and will probably turn the vampire into a raving lunatic like that Damien kid. The original was shit fucking WONDERFUL one of the best vampire movies ever made.

  • @MGR1900 I didn't notice a single original idea in the movie. Pedophilia and vampire children have often been linked in tons of books. the only thing that is different here is that this guy takes an unusually positive view of pedophilia, and looks at the idea that the "child" might be the one using the adult. I can honestly say it sucks, and that is no pun.

  • reading the book now. =xxxxxxxx

  • This movie is actually hauntingly beautiful. It will stay with you days after you see it. It had a sadness to it that pearced my heart.

  • no blood, no foul

  • I wanna see this!!!

  • wow
