I guarantee that's not because it's subtitled. The vampire is one of the most representative characters in the horror genre, and there are several classic vampire films, cherished by horror fans, and recognizable by a broader audience. It's almost a certainty that those films will be picked over a modern film that's just too new to be in that conversation. Heck, Nosferatu almost won the leading characters tournament, which spans subgenres.
Also, while Let the Right One In is, IMO, an excellent addition to the subgenre, its portrayal of vampires is fairly non-traditional, a bit like Cronos or Trouble Every Day. For that reason it's probably not going to win a vampire contest among horror fans.
