Let Me In vs. Let The Right One in?
 
Anyone seen both of these yet?

I've yet to get round to catching either of them myself yet. I have a dubbed copy of LTROI but I am waiting for a subtitled copy before I watch all of it. The dubbed version has a certain kind of cheesey 80's-ness to it that lends itself to quite a sinister creepy atmosphere, but I would still rather watch it the first round as it is meant to be heard.

Which one is the better of the two? (they are both getting good reviews)

I honestly don't see the point of watching Let Me In. The original was pretty flawless and I don't see how they can possibly improve on it.

I prefered the original though I did enjoy the remake quite a bit.

As expected its a lot less subtle than the first film.

Goes without saying, but if it's already been made no harm in checking it out, eh?

I do that every week. I'm an eastenders fan. I only watch it because they have murders every now and again.

It's not wasting any time, since it's a good movie.

exactly!

Plus there is no harm in making an alternate English version, is there?

Making an English version does good because people avoid subtitled movies like the plague for some reason, and this will get people to discover what a great film it is, but I really don't see the point in seeing the American version when I've already seen the original. What would I gain from that? Is it radically different from the original? I haven't heard anything to indicate that it was. I'm really, really sick of remakes!!
