Let Me In

Dr. Cheese · #1 10-01-2010, 06:03 PM

If you are fan of actual horror, not just splatter, check out Let Me In! This is the creepiest movie I have seen in a very long time. It's about a 12 year old boy and a girl who is a vampire. This is an excellent movie, horror movies don't usually get maintream awards, but I think this movie does.

Is there any black in the cast?

The Swedish original upon which this was based was incredible. Creepy, suspenseful, engaging... I usually don't like horror films but this one was great. The new remake looks very good as well if the trailer is any indication.

What about the Swedish original "Let the right one in" ? Have you seen it? Is it better?

I actually just watched the original, and it's not that impressive.

Bummer! Don't burn me, or is that "It burns, it burns!" ?

Gotta disagree- I thought the original was fantastic. Sets a very specific mood that the remake doesn't appear to capture at all.

Eh, maybe just not my cup o tea. Euro and Japanese flicks are usually better at getting a real profound "feel" than mainstream American movies.

Of course, didn't you know the new version was set in Harlem?

I'll have to see the original. Here is someone else who thinks the remake is great too:http://movies.nytimes.com/2010/10/01....html?src=dayp

I use rottentomatoes.com for film reviews, their pretty balanced IMO, they give it 97%, I'll check it out, cheers ; )

I like Let The Right One In A LOT. I really don't wanna see this. I may rent it down the road.

The book is worth a read as well.

IconBasser · #16 10-01-2010, 07:58 PM

I'm planning to check this one out. Probably go next week.

I enjoyed the original one a lot. I wont see this in a theatre, but will probably download it expecting to have it not live up to the original. Why do you have to make a remake of a film that was already good? Are people in america that ________(fill in choice of adjective here), that they can't read ****ing subtitles?

My thoughts as well

I'll probably go see the remake, but the original was brilliant.
