Screw Let Me In, there was nothing wrong with the original. Freaking people are too illiterate and lazy to read subtitles.

Some people don't want to split their time between focusing on the words and missing part of what's being shown, and sometimes it's a bitch to follow subtitles if people are talking over each other, or talking too fast.

Well, you can watch it more than once and there's nothing saying you have to catch it in the theater, when I saw it it wasn't planned for any distribution in North America. It had shown one weekend only in something like 10 cities. Besides, having watched a lot of subtitled movies, you are missing out, and it's really not that hard. If you're in the theater, don't sit in the very front.

A lot of the world only gets subtitled movies. We can learn to cope for those gems coming out of countries that don't produce their films in english.

We need to go back to the good 'ole days of Evil Dead and films like Gran Torino.

Well, you know why I watched some horrible movie with Owls? So I could take my kid. Let The Right One In isn't really her speed. Yeah, so it's the most incredible remake ever, the original didn't need a remake. That's why I won't see it, oh yeah, and Hollywood and theater chains want over 10 bucks for a ticket and end economy time (I mean 50 cents off time) at 4 in the afternoon now. Again I say, screw em.

They're asking me to pay over 10 bucks to watch what amounts to fanfic of the original. That's why people are "whining" about it being a remake.

I sure can.

...if it's a good movie. Haven't seen evidence of that here. :P

If Let Me In is so similar to it's original film, HOW did it flop?!
I loved Let The Right One In and I can't see how this movie is bad.

Let The Right One In is phenomenal, watch it, subtitles and all.

Well, there you go. For fans of the original (I'm one as well), why watch a remake? Why not just watch the original?

Aside from that bloc of potential viewers, it really didn't get much in the way of a marketing campaign...but it also might not have been a big enough movie to warrant one.

Damn it!

I thought this one was about the new L4D DLC. Oh, well.

I'll say this for the topic though: since I live next door to Sweden and have a general antipathy for American remakes of Danish films I'm not particularly interested in seeing this one as well. If that tells Hollywood that more sparkly vampires are the thing, then so be it.

I don't really care for vampire flicks in any case so I don't see what the big deal is. If I want my vampire itch scratched I pick up Stoker's Dracula from my shelf and read through it again. Everything else is but a pale imitation.

It's not my responsibility to go see a movie I don't care for just to make it financially viable.

He's only one of three who's been able to get a vampire story right in my mind. Fuck Anne Rice and little boy vampires and sparkling vampires and emo goth vampires who need guns.

Mel Brooks did a good job because it's Mel Brooks, and Dracula was a dark comedy anyway.

And Nosferatu, because Count Orlok is the man.
