The original was so good! Why re-write it? If they dumb it down for American audiences, they will completely ruin it. The Swedish version was extremely toned down compared to the book.

Since the '30's horror movies have essentially all been remakes, sequels or ripoffs of other sequels and remakes.Once in a while something original slips through the cracks and if it is any good it gets sequelized, remade or ripped off. It's the Hollywood food chain, it's the circle of life.Who gives a crap, HAMMER IS BACK,BABY!

I bet they will make it PG-13 so fans of those vampire romance novels, Twilight, will want to see it.

Just embarassing. Låt den rätte komma in only started making the festival rounds beginning of this year. At this rate foreign films will never even leave the country of origin at all and the US remake will be released simultaneously. Remaking films is one thing but they should let the film at least breathe before doing the dirty.

thedescent08, Lol there is NO WAY this could be a tween Twilight-ish flick and still be based on the same book or movie. No way.

This film was so beautiful. The innocence of it will now be tainted forever!

Jaysaw, I compleletely agree. It is a flawless sublime poingant film. Hammer or not - I hope all these fuckers suffer a slow painful death. Has an American director of horror had an original thought lately? Lynch is still far and away the best american director out there- check out Inland Empire.
