Let the Right One In

[deadbydesire]

Just wanted to know if anyone seen this gem? It was released on DVD and Blu-Ray on March 10th. Its a swedish vampire movie involving a 12 yo boy, a misfit, who meets a 12 yo girl, a vampire, and their relationship. It's quite unique. It's reallly sad that there is already an american remake is in the works. This movie shouldn't be touched.

There's a thread on it lying around somewhere.....

Read the book? It was wonderful....

[Bernadette]

I saw it at DFT when it was here.

It was well-done.

And yes, there's another thread on DGN somewhere for this.

I am half-way through the book. The DVD came out yesterday. I should be getting it in the mail SOON. I want to finish the book first though.

Nothing is sacred to hollywood.

Want to get this before the remake comes out.

You should come come sometime and watch it with me and Necromanta (joey), heck we will get greyhalo (Tracy) in on it too! Im currently finishing watching it, so far I lke it.

[DJ Nocker]

Just finished it....

I really enjoyed it, although its not a movie I will watch often as it is fairly slow paced, the movie was good. Its one of the better vampire films of the last 6 years.

[JaXson]

Absolutely! Also saw it at the DFT. It's not slow as much as it's deliberate. Can't wait for it on my netflix queue.

[Guest greyhalo]

I will probably watch this tonight. I still haven't finished the book though.

[freydis]

i now have it at home.....

will watch it when i get there.

That's SOOOO good!!!!

I'm sure the book is better, I need like 10 more hours added to every day so that I have more time to read and stuff.. *sighs* my pile is stacking up.

Mean Salley and I watched it last night, and we both enjoyed it. I actually liked the pacing of the movie. I was curious to see how the movie compared to the book (still have about 70 pages left). Overall, I thought that the relationship between Oskar and Eli was very sweet and liked the fact that the movie wasn't terribly violent or bloody. The suspense was done well, and I thought the "pool scene" was excellent.

I agree, the "pool scene" was great!

I just got it and had to turn it off. I'll finish later but so far I'm rather let down.

[Slept with ghost]

Meh. Every book to movie translation removes things but this somehow managed to keep things in while removing any chance of people knowing what said things are unless they read the book.

Aye I really did like that one. It is a pretty slow moving movie, but it's so well done that it couldn't really be any other way. I would definitely watch it again. Next time Greyhalo needs to figure out how to switch the DVD to Swedish with English subtitles.

I give this movie 4 1/2 of 5 smashes

[st_masey]

I saw it. Loved it. I'm still feeling what it gave me.

And now I shall never watch anything with a vampire in it ever again.

[TitsMcGee]

I've got it on my netflix list so it'll show up at some point hehe

Perhaps it's because I saw the film before reading the book, but I much preferred the film. The plot felt more cohesive, spent less time with secondary characters, which in this case I found to be a plus; the film focuses in much more on Oskar and Eli, which leaves it feeling like a much leaner and tighter plot.

I've still a few pages left to read, so I could change my mind, but I doubt it.

[Joey Deadcat]

I found it to be a very beautiful film.

bad news: there's a Hollywood remake in the works. The guy who did Cloverfield's script is writing this one; apparently, his 1st attempt got shot down, so he's working on version #2 now.
