I really don't understand why this movie needs to be remade. If it's taking place in Sweden, then what's the point? It's as if the film was flawed and America felt the need to jump in and save the day. And for what? An English speaking cast? I don't get it.

We all know that this film wont be as perfect as the original but let's face it, the average american has never heard of "Let the right one in" and this will pretty much be the only way to get this story told to those who only hear about a movie through "t.v. spots"

WalkingDeadGuy speaks truth. I mean, take a look at REC and Quarantine. Quarantine was good, but pales in comparison to the Spanish version, and yet not many people know what REC is.

WalkingDeadGuy is absolutely right.

I just saw the original last week. Perfect? It was horrible. I love vampire movies. I hate what hollywood is doing to them these days, but this was just as bad. the remake...HAS to be better.

Actually "perfect" doesn't even do it justice, the movie is absolutely brilliant! It is nowhere near as awesome as the book was, but I guess you preferred Bordello Of Blood as your "perfect" vampire movie.

great , so just becuase the majority of American won't watch subtitled films , we have to suffer another remake, that will ruin the subtleties of the original.Silverfall did you see the same movie as everyone else? the most audacious vampire movie of the last ten years that was also beautifully shot and told???

oh yeah - for some reason the American audiences refuse to watch a 100% subbed movie. I've had people sit through painful dubs but when I crank out the subbed version(s) they run for the hills. Plus we all know there's going to be more "extreme" violence, shaky cameras, spooky lighting, etc.

REMAKES! when will they end god! WHY MUST YOU HATE ME???!!!

I'm going to try to keep an open mind for this film, but it's going to pale in comparison to the original, that much is obvious already. And Silverfall, I think "Twilight" is the movie you're thinking of.

Why the fuck do they keep remaking all the good movies of the last few years. if they wanna remake shit, pick stuff from 20 to 30 years ago. not the last ten years.

sadly,even after this comes out americans still won't seek out the original. it's not the worlds' fault that 20% of americans can't read. and 10% still throw rocks at the moon and think the earth's flat. oh and get ready for CG fangs,CG blood,CG tears,CG snow, fall out boy on the soundtrack and the burger king tie-ins.

speak the truth bloodycape!!!!

that kid looks like a rehtard

Dont forget about putting some shitty Rapper in the movie to help guarantee that it will be one dog shit movie!

Far åt helvete era jävla arroganta jävlar!!! När man för en gångs skull gör en bra svensk skräckfilm så ge fan i att jävlas med den! And yeah... If anybody wondered, the first part of this post was in Swedish. Raging, angry, fuckyouverymuch for remaking the ONLY good Swedish horror movie ever Swedish. Beat ignorant people with sticks so that they learn how to read subtitles. Fuck.

This really should not be made, the original is an amazing film and and american remake probably wont be half as effective. Totally unnecessary and a massive waste of money.

This remake is really just a means for Hammer Films to get their first film, since the studio was purchased from the Brits, into wide release. The problem here is lot of the subtleties of the original film will be lost on these new guys or completely scrapped. The only chance they have to do anything interesting is to stick more to the novel than the Swedish filmmakers did. Still, the producers count on the fact that most Americans are too lazy to read subtitles so they avoid anything foreign. Foreign films are lucky if they even get limited releases in the states while remakes make big bucks, regardless of the bad reviews (some of the worst reviewed films make the most money in the states...Paul Blart, Transformers 2, Meet the Spartans and so on). So they'll put out posters with "from the director of Cloverfield" underneath the title and people will come out in droves to see this thing regardless of how well it stands next to the original film. I guess I should just be grateful that they didn't get the people behind Twilight to remake this thing.

This is going to crash and burn. I've been doing my best to spread Let the Right One In around, but WalkingDeadGuy is right. Most people don't know about it. Getting the original spread around is the only good thing about this remake. As of now, I'm still waiting for the release with the new subtitles. I have no problem reading subtitles, but I refuse to read ones that are oversimplified. On another small note, I've heard that they changed the names of the children in "Let Me In" to Owen and Abby. Has anyone else heard this?

I have a hard time believing the myth about Americans not wanting to watch movies with subs. Does anyone remember Mel Gibson's movie Apocalypto? All subs, yet it did quite well at the box office. I just really think it depends on the TYPE of movie that Americans will watch with subs. Either way, this remake is going to be horrible and no one will be surprised.

I'm ashamed to admit that a lot of my fellow countrymen are so stupid that they will not see a movie with subtitles. Let the Right One In is one of the best horror films of all time, and may be the best vampire film. To remake the film is inexcusable.

If ugly americans aren't willing to read subtitles then fuck them. You cannot top perfection and the kid who may be cast, well honestly, I'd like to smack him the smug faced little bastard. Thank whoever or whatever you be believe in for foriegn film makers because with out them horror would be in one sorry fucking state, excluding RZ of course whom most love to hate.

Everyone knows the original is going to be better but hopefully the remake will spread the word that it is just that, a "remake" and people will hopefully seek out the original. If nothing else, for people who hate remakes, just don't fucking watch the damn thing and your problem is solved. I hate fuckin western's but I'm not gonna bitch about them all damn day, I just wont watch them.

Goddamnit -_- this is going to suck :@

and to Milkman, it's weird, because on my dvd it was translated, and wasn't subtitled... do if they are sooo lazy they dont even want to watch translated moves, ell then it gets pathetic lol
