I thought the remake was decent, but from seeing the original first it was hard to see it as an equal film. I think I'm going to blame the casting. As much as I like Chloe Montez, I'm not sure she was the right person. They spent 12 months looking for the right children for the Swedish film. Chloe, by contrast, is probably the first female in the age range that comes to mind for most Americans. I think a nobody would have been fresher.
I feel sad for the people who hate on the remake without actually watching it. I know how it feels to hear a remake from such a masterpiece, I'd be disappointed as well. But let me tell you, the remake is amazing. Both films just happen to have amazing soundtracks that capture your attention.
@InYourEmma You will not be disappointed with the original (Dir: Tomas Alfredson). Normally films change the way you see the book, but this is a very good film. The screenplay writer was in fact the author of the book aswell, John Ajvide Lindqvist, and a lot has been cut out but does not lose any integrity, but focuses more on the blossoming friendship between Eli and Oskar. I hope this response is satisfactory, let me know what you think of it.
@DannyJonline I totally adored it. As much as things were cut out, I was prepared for more and I loved that it was almost like a nod to the fans, that it focussed more on the Eli and Oskar relationship as I'm sure, the majority of readers of the book wanted to see more of.
I'm so glad this was made before Hollywood had a chance to get hold of it and crush it into two hours of blood, violence and they'd probably stick sex into it somewhere.
But yeah I adored it, thanks for the recommendation :)
Well! See the remake if you want! But if you realy want to know how the story between Oskar & Eli continues...read the book by the author John Ajvide Lindqvist: "LET THE OLD DREAMS DIE"! It is the continue story to the "LET THE RIGHT ONE IN" Read it!!!! You will NOT be dissapointed!!...
I would love to read "Let the Old Dreams Die".I have done some searching on the internet but I've yet to find the book of short stories this is a part of.
The ignorance in these comments is sad. Both Let The Right One In and Let Me In are incredible films. The remake isn't a bad film. It isn't a good film either. It is a great film, and so is Let The Right One In.
I agree. I really do hate how everyone is hating on the remake film. I like both. The original is perhaps better, I agree, but the remake doesn't suck entirely.
@banduril I couldn't agree more. The points that substantiate my opinion are:
1.whereas Alfredson told the story via precisely framed pictures, Reeves goes for bad CGI and music 2.in the original movie the relationships between the characters were of the prime importance. Lacke hunted for Eli motivated by the desire for vengenance for his friend and his girlfriend. In "Let me in" the characters are cold, isolated from each other, and we barely care for them.
I always thought that the remake would be better because they improve on things but now ive researchedon both of them, the original seems A LOT better, but I prefer the characters in the remake more than in the original.
Love the movie. Wonderful soundtrack. Based on what I've read about the remake, I expect that it will be a good entertaining movie... just not a *special* movie like the original.
I will never watch the remake out of respect for this ultimate film, once I saw this story it became my most favorite, I fell horrible for the author watching his masterpiece being hacked up by people wo cannot come up with their own material
@jordanlgta Let me know when you actually read the book LMI is "based" upon. (If you've read the book and think LMI is "incredible" I won't argue with you... cuz arguing with stupidity is pointles) That's what you get when you let a 200 old country have major cultural influence.
@DaBakerOfCake We'll see how much they change. The Swedish movie leaves a lot of stuff out and presents certain things differently. I'm thinking the American one will be pretty much the same only with Eli being more clearly a girl, with no ambiguity, and no reference to her past.
Oh crap, got bored and decided to see what's going on with the remake and I came across this statement: Producer Simon Oakes has made it clear that the plot of Let Me In will closely resemble that of the original, except that it will be made "very accessible to a wider audience".
This makes me want to bang my head against the wall like those guys from the gamefly commercials. If I were Tomas and John, I would have said fuck you to Matt Reeves for even considering a remake.
It's probably the most unnecessary remake of the last decade. Let The Right One In is perfect, they can't do anything better. All the themes of the original will be discarded, the whole part of Eli being a boy will be ignored, which for me, made Oskar love for her so moving and powerful.
Let Me In is a shameless attempt to parasite off a timeless film, and cash in on Vampires. I'm not giving it a penny of my money. Why not just give Let The Right One In a wide release?
I say that I won't pay to see it, but I will most likely go because I really want to see how it turns out-- good or bad. The only way the remake will even come anywhere close to the original is if the producer and director grow some balls and show more of what was excluded from the book, but that is not going to happen. I can't think of any other reason, like everyone else said, the first is just too perfect.
I didn't say I wouldn't watch it, I just won't pay for it. I'll either watch it online or wait for the TV version, or borrow it. I'm not supporting it on any level - unless - they somehow do something amazing. But, if the casting decisions and name changes are things that can be judged, they're just telling a different, yet vaguely familiar version of the book while vampires are the thing.
I got what you meant the first time around. I was saying that I tell myself I won't watch it in theaters, but I know i'll end up doing that anyway because I won't be able to wait for it to come out on DVD.
hey, Eli is not relly a boy is she? she just said she wasent a girl because she was a vampire right? she is not a male is she? because..i dont mean to be crude but in the nude scene when she puts Oskar's mom dress there seemes to be something wrong whit her....is there something in the book that explains more about Eli???
Yes, in the book Eli is actually a castrated boy. The scars on her private region are due to her having her genitals cut off. Her birth name is Elias. Sorry to wreck it for you. In fact, Eli's past is very disturbing. And I mean very.
thank you so much georginiou, for clearing that up , and no you are not wrecking anything for me, i was relly curius about Eli or "Elias"; as for Let Me In i know i'm gonna be curius so i'll see it day one when it comes out, regardles if it's good or bad but i'm not really happy for it, i mean LTROI hasn't even been out for that long and the remake is alredy coming; but well ,thanks again...
@georginiou wow, that's weird because, it minds that Oskar is in love whit another boy, so... gays? and i didn't read the book, so you can give me more info? i wan't to know about Eli's past, why she (or he) was castrated? for what reason? and... Oskar know that she is a boy? Please answer, i really want to know.
@BeluPrincess16 eli was castrated by some crazy guy, some type of lord can't remember, but the guy owned the land where eli and his family among several others lived. I think he was a vampire too. he castrated eli to drink his blood and eat his penis. and yes oskar knew eli was a boy, eli told him. but as you know the movie and book are about true love, it did cross his mind that he would be a faggot, but he didn't care because he loved eli for the way he made him feel and how he completed him.
@georginiou wow, that's weird because, it minds that Oskar is in love whit another boy, so... gays? and i didn't read the book, so you can give me more info? i wan't to know about Eli's past, why she (or he) was castrated? for what reason? and... Oskar know that she is a boy? Please answer, i really want to know.
Because it is in Swedish and although people should just read the subs and be happy, reality is that some can't, others hate to do it, and it just doesn't sell. DVD is all it gets.
Just consider the remake a different film with the same plot. There is no need to raise hell, just keep watching the original and be happy it exists. We know no remake or copy can ever surpass LTROI.
That's not the point, I understand people don't like subtitles, but my issue is that the people who are doing the remake have talked shit about how "we really love the source material" and "the original was so great a movie", yet they originally wanted to remake it withh teenagers, not 12-year-olds, and they've already made Eli's character an obvious girl. It shows everything they say about "loving" the material is crap. It's just going to be a lame movie cashing in on vampires.
@MsBickle76 Not exactly. Twilight (in spite of what I said on the other thread, consciously mocking the attitude of some, including the guys behind the remake) is a fluffy, boring fantasy with no spark in it. LTROI is a masterpiece that demands and invites many readings: as a story of adolescence, of meeting of the mythical with the mundane, and, last not least, of love that prevails against all odds. Twilight, simply, doesn't compare.
But at least Matt Reeves was the one who OPPOSED them using older teenagers in the remake. So that's a point to his favor, at least. As for Eli not being a boy, that simply wouldn't fly with the tight-ass general-American audiences. But I do agree wih you. This whole remake project sucks ass.
Well, if you make Eli older, how old? If she is more than 16 it means her 'helper' is redundant. If she's younger, what's the point? What do you gain by changing her to a 14-year-old? Nothing.
This movie is absolute brilliance. I cringed when I heard this movie was going to be remade in English. Horrible, horrible decision. Movies like this should not be touched.
@jgarcia93215 had to agree... hope the author will make a continuation of Eli and Oskar's story and same actors should portray the roles as well... addicting film and even recommended it to my friends....
But by then the actors would be too old. Lina Leandersson (sp?) was about 11 when she did Eli, she's about 14 now. Considering the theme of Eli being forever a child was such a strong element, having her return as a 16-year-old would be pretty rubbish.
@georginiou Oh! I didn't know she's that old now... Look-alikes will work... LOL! Still i don't like a remake of this film... a sequel is good but if the same stars would be considered for that, then there'll be a problem in Eli's case... Sighs!
@ramosity Lindqvist reportedly created an 'epilogue to epilogue' to "Let the Right One In" called "Let the old dreams die", which is to appear in his next collection of short stories, if I understand correctly.
@jgarcia93215 I agree, but American Film Studios know how to buy/sell a movie. This is a great story and a great opportunity to make money. Remember "Funny Games" by Michael Haneke. 10 years later an U.S version of the movie. Made by the same director. Why? It can only be for money that they paid to make a remake and maybe some support (more money) on his next project.
@QuietEnvoy I am just going off of movies like the "nightmare on elm street" remake that just came out. The original was so good, and the remake was complete garbage, and it is so unfortunate because I remember being a kid and Freddy scaring the hell out me. I guess what I am trying to say is that a movie lover "connects" to certain movies during certain times of there life (In my case, I saw this while going through a depression), and that is what makes a movie like this so special.
@steelpredator731 Idk. Both the leads are being played by very talented actors. You really should watch The Road. I like Matt Reeves directing. Studio was wanting him to change the ages of the two leads but he refused. Michael Giacchino is, Star Trek, is doing the soundtrack for this film. I am sorry but by in large it seems that they at the very least have talented people working on this project.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
How can you just type away like all americans make crappy movies. Americans by far have been he best at cinematography and movies in the world. Just because some may be pigs in hollywood don't forget about those true filmmakers.
Americans are jealous of this film!! that´s why they will attempt doing a Disney blond gibberish version of this unique sweddish masterpiece!!
I am from brazil.Movie has become one of the most watched in here! I thought Sweeden had only hot girls .Now i see they have more to me than meets the eye!!!!
The fact that the movie will certainly suck has a positive aspect. Just like American leadership treats the world as its province, the American directors treat achievements of the foreign filmmakers as their own property If the movie fails, it'll teach them that claiming someone else's culture, values and achievements is doomed to fail as well.
It wont fail, it'll make shitloads of money, but will be a critical flop, most likely. Probably a Twilight style romance, with a 12 certificate, so no violence to make you empathise with the situation. Oh, and maybe throw in emo rock band music. Oh well, the remake won't come close to this.
Chloe Moretz? Just looked her up. Oh no. She played Chelsea in the amityville horror... yet another bad remake. She is a typical Hollywood blonde, All American "pretty child" in manner of Olsen twins. I don't think she will even compare to lina leandersson. It'll take more than hair dye...
that's because they will. Have you seen what the girl looks like that will be playing eli. First off, she doesn't look like she'll play a good vampire, and also, she has blond hair!! What the fuck. I think black hair is the perfect image and lina leandersson looked great playing the part.
Maybe we'll be surprised and the girl ends up playing it well, but I think she needs to do something with the hair because that's part of the performance.
Well the author said that Eli is supposed to be the opposite to Oskar. Which is why he has white blonde hair and she has dark. They are supposed to be a contrast. It's visually stunning to see them together. Don't these guys just have the perfect chemistry?
Yeah, they do have a chemistry that's unlike anything I've seen before. Haha, it almost makes me want to go back to my childhood and take back the part that was missing. According to what you said, if you look at the people playing in the american version, it's the opposite, eli has blond hair and the boy has darker hair. I hope that this doesn't spell a recipe for disaster.
Oh no, not another angelic child vampire. That cliche's been done to death. At least lina has this kind of sad atmosphere. Her beauty is haunting, as opposed to the Californian ideal. Sorry, I just hate when Hollywood tries to rip off films that are perfect to begin with by adding CGI and a 'beautiful' cast.
I have grown a pretty big distaste towards Hollywood. Some of the movies are entertaining but character development is so bad, so bad. I don't mind the beautiful people, it just gets bothersome when you see the same person playing one similar role after another.
Not only that, but I think it's unfair how Hollywood practically has a choke hold on all american film makers: what's good, what's bad, how to sell, who plays the part. All of this seems to undermine the independent film makers.
I agree. Actually the American beauty ideal is what I find so distasteful. American films don't have any subtletly any more-- it's all dumbed down. For example 'Let the Right One In' is now 'Let Me In'... because Hollywood said it was too long. This film is going to be filled with gore and fake blood and CGI vampire antics. Also compare Lina's beauty with Chloe's. Am tired of Hollywoods insistence upon perfection when it comes to looks.
agreed movie was alot better book was too long i mean the whole tommy and his mum with his new stepdad staffan didnt seem like it really had any place in the book just a waste of pages
It's impressive how people who first see the movie consider Eli as girl (which, deep inside, she is). But then, as I did, when they read the novel, there's a little yet disturbing surprise about her true nature, other than a vampire.
Anyhow, the movie is slightly better than the book, as it leaves many truths more ambiguous and so relies on the viewer's judgement and opinion.
Hmm, that woulda been good, but they could have made the only speaking in it between Oskar and Eli, everything else is silent, but those two are the only two who really communicate, kinda like the girl in red in schindler's list?
American movies on a whole have really lost their appeal for me. Audiences seem content with what I refer to as "all flash, no content" movies, or movies with special FX and no focus on what really matters most, depth of story and character development.
It's a shame really, because with all the money that's poured into Hollywood, they have the capability of creating something tremendous. This is why I look primarily at foreign films. They have actual substance.
YA6mine, yes watch this movie, I have seen it 6 times in the last month. there is not great special effects involved, actors that you have never seen before, but it is a movie that will capture your heart, and touch your soul. I have done alot of research, and talked to many people, and maybe 2 out of each hundred, have not really loved this movie. it is swedish and has subtitles, and the setting is in the early 1980's. reply here after you have seen it, would like to hear what you thought.
awesome movie better than the book i see lina leandersson will grow up to be a fine actress who will know doubt break a few hearts along the way i know it would prob ruin but id still pay good money to see a sequel
if he wants to do it then sure apparentley he was just randomly picked out of a classroom and asked to audition and he said sure sounds fun heard he might not be intrested in pursuing a career in acting but your right lets hope he goes for ir who knows perhaps they will cast both him and lina in other future movies they have the chemistry after all
This movie has intoxicated my heart and soul I have seen it 5 times, and still cannot get enough, I have also read the book 3 times. Id like to add this thought. Eli and Oskar are truly in love, and I feel that Oskar will one day change, and stay by Eli for eternity
And this is why: Epilogue: Oskar sits on a train. Snow is falling outside. A large basket sits in front of him. From inside the basket comes a rapping. Oskar raps back in Morse Code, "P-U-S-S", Swedish for "kiss".
I don't think the film wouldn't have been as powerful or as touching without this piece in it. I remember almost wanting to cry whenever they played this in the film it was just so moving! T u T
It's funny, this film wasn't perfect, but it was still one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. You would expect it to be bleak, but it's so powerful, the music is so hopefull. Is this what was playing when they had the rubix cube?
Hmm..I thought this movie looked really good in the preview.. The plot was amazing, but I couldn't get my head around it , it was in swedish right? I'm ovbiously not swedish, I don't know, maybe I would have had a different experience with it, if I could of understood the language.. And I hate subtitles.. I also hate voice overs, it just looks weird, the soundtrack is amazing!! I love it , Eli's song makes me cry..
It's great that people are talking about this film so much, as I found it very beautiful.
I think that there can be no certainty over the future of Eli and Oskar, just as the ending is neither happy nor sad. The conclusion we draw is personal, it tells us about ourselves. That's what makes this film amazing.
If you liked this film I would recommend to you Oldboy (올드보이) which is not similar in theme or style, but it also makes you question the nature of Love.
You've expressed what I've been thinking but haven't been able to verbalize. The ending is open to personal interpretation which makes it a great discussion piece of work. Not too many films are able to pull that off successfully. This one does.
Great post. You worded it so wonderfully. Now in all my young age, I've seen a lot of great movies, am called out on it by my friends :P
But none have made the same impact on me as Let the Right One In. Truly mesmerizing. Flawed yes, but as an experience its just raw emotion. And the score mimics it perfectly.
I also love OldBoy, its a fantastic movie. You brought up a great comparison as well, I never even thought of OldBoy until you mentioned it.
the movie's ending is a reflection of the viewer's nature... it can be happy, or sad depending on the disposition of the person watching it. I personally thought it was sad because the only way for eli and oskar to be together is for oskar to become a vampire, otherwise he will grow old and probably end up like the father whom eli killed... I thought about eli having a similar elationship with the father at the beginning maybe he grew old and eli grew tired of him then along came oskar...
yeah i always think of it as an uplifting ending myself, and when i think of the possibly tragic future, it only makes the ending seem more precious, and make me feel more attached to the characters. i loved this movie.
Hollywood execs should be dragged into the streets and shot point blank in the face and then strung up from the lights and the HOLLYWOOD sign set alight and dripping in blood.
This movie is a masterpiece, the book is fantastic and makes a good companion to the film as it contains a lot of backstory. I recommend you read this also.
Remake or not (i perfer not) This is a modern classic that touches you profoundly and has you thinking long after its ended.
Well said Rhinocerouslip. A wonderful movie. I'm still thinking of it weeks after I first saw it. Hollywood has nothing to offer but special effects and soulless dialog that's about an inch deep. LTROI represents the best that film can be.
Jazalicious, I think you're soo right. I was really curious about the old man with the girl. I was thinking that too. I thought that Oscar would have the same fate as that old man. I cried T^T
LETS HOPE PPL THAT THE AMERICAN VERSION WILL BE GOOD!! but I think the Swedish is the very much awesome version of this film, even though they kind of had a low budget =/
aw thats sad! god. i love this movie. i normally dont get impacted emotionally by films like these but this one really got to me. she should just make him a vampire so they could be together forever,.
I almost suggested the same thing about Oskar just becoming a vampire so they could be together, but whos going to take care ov them? I know the consequences they will have to take no matter what, they would be together, but yea aha its just a future us viewers are supposed to predict. Thats the magic ov this, we were made to predict, wonder, and contemplate the point ov this masterpiece.
*Unlike other movies, they just have happy endings or simple and shallow ways ov exosing to us the real ending. But no this film is really indescrible, in an extraordinary way in depth.
Hollywood can never leave well enough alone. They just have to put out their lame remakes and ripoffs because it's all they know how to do now. They're just leeches sucking the blood out of the truly creative artists.
I've watched the movie for the second time and I'm sorry I did, because it left me heart-broken for the second time. You know, when a love story actually affects a guy it must be a h*ll of a good love story.
Yes, I do. If not for the private message you sent me I wouldn't count your comment as an act of harassment - which the message obviously was. Since you blocked me I'm forced to warn you on the public forum that if the harassment continues I'll file the complaint directly to the staff.

It's probably the most unnecessary remake of the last decade. Let The Right One In is perfect, they can't do anything better. All the themes of the original will be discarded, the whole part of Eli being a boy will be ignored, which for me, made Oskar love for her so moving and powerful.
Let Me In is a shameless attempt to parasite off a timeless film, and cash in on Vampires. I'm not giving it a penny of my money. Why not just give Let The Right One In a wide release?

I say that I won't pay to see it, but I will most likely go because I really want to see how it turns out-- good or bad. The only way the remake will even come anywhere close to the original is if the producer and director grow some balls and show more of what was excluded from the book, but that is not going to happen. I can't think of any other reason, like everyone else said, the first is just too perfect.
DaRkLyDrEamiNg000 2 years ago
I didn't say I wouldn't watch it, I just won't pay for it. I'll either watch it online or wait for the TV version, or borrow it. I'm not supporting it on any level - unless - they somehow do something amazing. But, if the casting decisions and name changes are things that can be judged, they're just telling a different, yet vaguely familiar version of the book while vampires are the thing.

hey, Eli is not relly a boy is she? she just said she wasent a girl because she was a vampire right? she is not a male is she? because..i dont mean to be crude but in the nude scene when she puts Oskar's mom dress there seemes to be something wrong whit her....is there something in the book that explains more about Eli???
MsBickle76 2 years ago
SPOILERS:
Yes, in the book Eli is actually a castrated boy. The scars on her private region are due to her having her genitals cut off. Her birth name is Elias. Sorry to wreck it for you. In fact, Eli's past is very disturbing. And I mean very.

thank you so much georginiou, for clearing that up , and no you are not wrecking anything for me, i was relly curius about Eli or "Elias"; as for Let Me In i know i'm gonna be curius so i'll see it day one when it comes out, regardles if it's good or bad but i'm not really happy for it, i mean LTROI hasn't even been out for that long and the remake is alredy coming; but well ,thanks again...

Oskar know that she is a boy? Please answer, i really want to know.

@BeluPrincess16 eli was castrated by some crazy guy, some type of lord can't remember, but the guy owned the land where eli and his family among several others lived. I think he was a vampire too. he castrated eli to drink his blood and eat his penis. and yes oskar knew eli was a boy, eli told him. but as you know the movie and book are about true love, it did cross his mind that he would be a faggot, but he didn't care because he loved eli for the way he made him feel and how he completed him.

Because it is in Swedish and although people should just read the subs and be happy, reality is that some can't, others hate to do it, and it just doesn't sell. DVD is all it gets.
Just consider the remake a different film with the same plot. There is no need to raise hell, just keep watching the original and be happy it exists. We know no remake or copy can ever surpass LTROI.

@Cesar21jmb
That's not the point, I understand people don't like subtitles, but my issue is that the people who are doing the remake have talked shit about how "we really love the source material" and "the original was so great a movie", yet they originally wanted to remake it withh teenagers, not 12-year-olds, and they've already made Eli's character an obvious girl. It shows everything they say about "loving" the material is crap. It's just going to be a lame movie cashing in on vampires.

MsBickle76 2 years ago
@MsBickle76 Not exactly. Twilight (in spite of what I said on the other thread, consciously mocking the attitude of some, including the guys behind the remake) is a fluffy, boring fantasy with no spark in it. LTROI is a masterpiece that demands and invites many readings: as a story of adolescence, of meeting of the mythical with the mundane, and, last not least, of love that prevails against all odds. Twilight, simply, doesn't compare.

Well, if you make Eli older, how old? If she is more than 16 it means her 'helper' is redundant. If she's younger, what's the point? What do you gain by changing her to a 14-year-old? Nothing.

But by then the actors would be too old. Lina Leandersson (sp?) was about 11 when she did Eli, she's about 14 now. Considering the theme of Eli being forever a child was such a strong element, having her return as a 16-year-old would be pretty rubbish.

The fact that the movie will certainly suck has a positive aspect. Just like American leadership treats the world as its province, the American directors treat achievements of the foreign filmmakers as their own property If the movie fails, it'll teach them that claiming someone else's culture, values and achievements is doomed to fail as well.

It wont fail, it'll make shitloads of money, but will be a critical flop, most likely. Probably a Twilight style romance, with a 12 certificate, so no violence to make you empathise with the situation. Oh, and maybe throw in emo rock band music. Oh well, the remake won't come close to this.

Maybe we'll be surprised and the girl ends up playing it well, but I think she needs to do something with the hair because that's part of the performance.
deadagain19 2 years ago 2
Well the author said that Eli is supposed to be the opposite to Oskar. Which is why he has white blonde hair and she has dark. They are supposed to be a contrast. It's visually stunning to see them together. Don't these guys just have the perfect chemistry?

Yeah, they do have a chemistry that's unlike anything I've seen before. Haha, it almost makes me want to go back to my childhood and take back the part that was missing. According to what you said, if you look at the people playing in the american version, it's the opposite, eli has blond hair and the boy has darker hair. I hope that this doesn't spell a recipe for disaster.
deadagain19 2 years ago 2
Oh no, not another angelic child vampire. That cliche's been done to death. At least lina has this kind of sad atmosphere. Her beauty is haunting, as opposed to the Californian ideal. Sorry, I just hate when Hollywood tries to rip off films that are perfect to begin with by adding CGI and a 'beautiful' cast.
CuteShortyTitch 2 years ago 3
I have grown a pretty big distaste towards Hollywood. Some of the movies are entertaining but character development is so bad, so bad. I don't mind the beautiful people, it just gets bothersome when you see the same person playing one similar role after another.
Not only that, but I think it's unfair how Hollywood practically has a choke hold on all american film makers: what's good, what's bad, how to sell, who plays the part. All of this seems to undermine the independent film makers.
deadagain19 2 years ago
I agree. Actually the American beauty ideal is what I find so distasteful. American films don't have any subtletly any more-- it's all dumbed down. For example 'Let the Right One In' is now 'Let Me In'... because Hollywood said it was too long. This film is going to be filled with gore and fake blood and CGI vampire antics. Also compare Lina's beauty with Chloe's. Am tired of Hollywoods insistence upon perfection when it comes to looks.

It's impressive how people who first see the movie consider Eli as girl (which, deep inside, she is). But then, as I did, when they read the novel, there's a little yet disturbing surprise about her true nature, other than a vampire.
Anyhow, the movie is slightly better than the book, as it leaves many truths more ambiguous and so relies on the viewer's judgement and opinion.

I think that there can be no certainty over the future of Eli and Oskar, just as the ending is neither happy nor sad. The conclusion we draw is personal, it tells us about ourselves. That's what makes this film amazing.
If you liked this film I would recommend to you Oldboy (올드보이) which is not similar in theme or style, but it also makes you question the nature of Love.

the movie's ending is a reflection of the viewer's nature... it can be happy, or sad depending on the disposition of the person watching it. I personally thought it was sad because the only way for eli and oskar to be together is for oskar to become a vampire, otherwise he will grow old and probably end up like the father whom eli killed... I thought about eli having a similar elationship with the father at the beginning maybe he grew old and eli grew tired of him then along came oskar...
