Definitely see it!!! BUT, try and find a version that has the correct original theatrical English subtitles. The American DVD that came out in March has overly simplified English subtitles which lose a lot in translation. The English dubbed language track on the DVD is correct I've heard, but I generally can't stand watching dubbed films. The British DVD and international Swedish DVD have the correct English subtitles so find one of those.

I enjoyed that movie it's been playing on one of my movie channels lately. They're making an actual english version of the movie too i believe

no!!!!!

I found "Let the Right One In" to be a nice story and a good film, but didn't love it to the heights that it was hyped. Enjoyed it for the moment but nothing about it really stayed with me.

I think I might have preferred the story as a novel.

I'm lucky I never saw any hype, I enjoyed the quiet of it
the book is great, explains a lot of things the movie couldn't
essentially I saw it as a movie about bullying and friendship, any vampirism was purely incidental

This is kind of how I felt about it for the most part.
I was expecting a scary ("chilling"-scary, like El Orfanato, or Devil's Backbone rather than guts or "jump" scares) movie.
Instead I felt it was more dramatic. I did love the pool scene.

johnart said:

I'd seen a trailer and it seemed really nice - I would never have watched it if it was gonna be scary. I was so upset from El Orfanato I cried and cried, practically howling in the cinema

ZombieKitten said:

Aww

I can hardly think of anything worse that what happened in that film
hey guess what! I made brussel sprouts and really liked them!!!!

Dubbed films get a bad rap, because the voice acting usually comes across as phony. But sometimes subtitles irritate me because I miss out on the subtle visual aspects of an acting performance while reading them.

I prefer subtitles than constantly being distracted by seeing the actors' mouths not in sync with the dubbed voices.

My favorite movies featuring vampires:




1. Shadow Of The Vampire (2000)
2. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
3. Let The Right One In (2008)
4. Near Dark (1987)
5. Vampyr (1932)
6. Habit (1996)

Right now I'd rank Thirst just below these.

What about Nosferatu and Dracula: Pages of a Virgin's Diary?

ZombieKitten said:

I would not have liked it so much if the friendship between Eli and Oskar wasn't so heartfelt. The fact that one of them just happens to be a vampire is icing on the cake, really.

heartbeatocean said:

I like the original Nosferatu--just not as much as the above films. I'd probably place it at #8 after Thirst.

I've never seen Dracula: Pages of a Virgin's Diary. It looks strange.

sextonseven said:

So what would be #7?

I Dracula: Pages of a Virgin's Diary. I'm surprised you haven't seen it. The entire thing is a ballet, filmed like a silent movie. I saw it on the big screen and the whole thing was quite beautiful.

heartbeatocean said:

Thirst is penciled in at #7 right now. I'll have to see it again before I'm definite. #9 would be Vampyros Lesbos and if you stretch the boundaries of what constitutes a "vampire film" then Irma Vep could be #10. Those are my top ten vampire movies.

I've seen the poster for Pages of a Virgin's Diary, but never knew it was mostly ballet.

Did you watch to the end of the clip where they cut her head off with a shovel?
