The remake is actually pretty solid I thought. Much better than I was expecting. They did a good job capturing much of the atmosphere of the original, and the two young actors were really good.
Not as good as the original, not even close, really. But it's a solid remake made by people who obviously have a lot of respect for the original.
You still said a return.
Anyway,

Yeah it's been doing well with critics and so on. And the lead actress I expect to be excellent, she was in Kick Ass. She is one to watch.
I actually liked the remake better... I don't know what it was... I saw the first one, and it.... well it bored me to be honest... and this one in spite of me knowing what was happening still had me uncomfortable and in suspsense...
Maybe it was the soundtrack? I have no idea.. though I didn't like the fact that some things were left out and further not explored. Interviews left me under the impression that the remake was going to get more into subject matter not explored in the first film from the book... and it didn't happen.. Makes me wonder what hit the cutting room floor so they could get the release. 😬
Let the Right One In is a superb film. It is so much better than Twilight. It's more than a horror. Themes such as identity, growing up, and social realism are touched upon sensitively.
The book is better, it is far more graphic and the films always tend to leave bits out. The remake will be a ruined version that I have no interest in watching.
