@TheLolbot3000 North Americans aren't very much fans of subtitling movies, or at least with quality, I guess, I heard the biggest complaint about the Subtitled swedish version was that the translation lost part of the original dialogue meaning/quality.

I really don't understand remakes. with time, it kinda makes sense, if the movie is old, but why not see the original swedish, or french, or japanese films. Liek with the ring or grudge. I mean, of course you can, and i have nothing against that, but i think it would be nice to also see the original, or see it first. Seeing jsut the remake, feels liek you arent getting the full expierience

@Hinoirocks I ment I don't really like Dakota Fanning's work..

@ame6603 I believe you missed what they were doing with the "little girl" thing. You are right that the bullies considered that a put-down and that even Owen didn't believe a "girl" could help him. But guess who despenses justice at the end and saves the day? A "little girl". That's a nice little touch they were able to add since Abby is a girl in LMI.

@ame6603 I shouldn't spam this page too much more, but if you would like to discuss the nuances of either film, the We, The Infected forum is pretty great. My name there is Layer11

@Hinoirocks You're right. It wasn't blatant, I don't think. Most Americans probably wouldn't have even noticed.

@wanderlust342 Then Owen would be sharing an 18 year old girl. awkward.

@ame6603 I do think LTROI is the better film, but, again, this is in New Mexico. In the 80's, No less. I only experienced the tail-end of it, and macho was the thing, so I can't really imagine it any other way, but, they could've left in the eli-as-a-boy plot(Abner?)So yeah, it is macho-man bullshit.(I was kind of suprised no one used the word "faggot", really), but I don't think it glorified such attitudes.

@Hinoirocks Yes, I suppose small American towns are all American Pie and Jesus. It's just too bad to see them add it to the storyline of a good Scandinavian Film. I found it sexist because unlike the original version, where they called the boy "pig" to put him down, the American version referred to him as "girl", as if that's such a bad thing to be. It's more of that American macho-man bull-shit. The girl in the American version also said, "I'm strong *for a girl*."
I liked both versions of the swedish film, Let the right one in and the american remake Let me in, as well. I think both films we're well done, entertaining, and a fresh, new, thrilling idea of a horror movie. I usually don't like vampire films, but these two movies we're great in my opinion. Better than that twilight shit, lol.

Awesome movie, I liked "let the right one in" and "let me in" is as good as the swedish version, so I love both <33
But I noticed that the scene at 2:43 wasn't in the movie... looks like Abby had to leave Owen's bed because the sun came :O
