Just watched this last night, if anyone is hesitating, don't this film is epic. I didn't want it to end, a classic in it's own time

There are two, the original is the Swedish version and an American remake. I've only seen the Swedish one and would highly recommend it.

Got remade last year IIRC, so guessing this is the US one.

The remake was highly reviewed at the time.

The book is a LOT darker than the films. I preferred the original one TBH. The boy character seemed more innocent, which worked better with the story.

I'm getting the bug for Scandic stuff, first Wallander then The Killing and now this film, they all manage to be very atmospheric

I recorded this other day, I've seen the American version "Let Me In" and it was very enjoyable (also rather un-hollywood if that makes sense) so I'm interested to compare the two.

Recorded and watched the Swedish version. Excellent, atmospheric and in my mind quite captivating.

Definite thumbs up smile

Keep meaning to give this a go.

On the subject of LTROI, I didn't think it lived up to the hype TBH. Not a bad film, just didn't blow me away. Haven't bothered with the US remake.

Just for a change the remake was very good, certainly worth a watch. Of the 2, the original was probably the best. The book was very good too, quite a bit darker.

Surprised no-one has mentioned that the OP could only be talking about the Swedish one; the yank remake has a different name.....
