I LOVE THIS FILM, YES,YES!!!!

 

[satanclaus]

Damn, I just got the Aussie amaray for this. I'd have been much happier if this had been for the far superior original. Dammit.

 

[RekLess]

I like the movie, but I'm fine with my clear slipcover (and I'm pretty sure I bought the movie and slipcover for $5--much better value than this).

 

[blu-steel]

Too expensive for a catalog release. Sorry Zavvi but your doing it wrong.

 

[Bobthesub]

One of the rare occasions where a film I love gets remade and I actually like the remake, and although I do like 'let me in' £20 is too much for me, £15 maybe but my days of buying catalogue titles for £20 are long gone unless it's something very special.....

 

[BluSteel2012]

I'm in for this. Looks nice too

 

[Robsonmonkey]

They couldn't of done the original film instead of the crappy remake

<sigh>

US version with the comic?

Too bad that it's the remake, not that the price is any more tempting either... Reeves' version is still good though, lower the price and this could be worth considering.

 

[psychoscot]

Price is a killer as already have both the UK slipcase and US slip with comic versions.

Any live time news?

People keep hating on this film and calling Let The Right One In 'original' when it's a book adaptation. Read the damn book if you're gonna act like a try hard hipster.

 

[Noodles]

I really like the current art. Never seen the film though and it doesn't really sound like my sort of thing unfortunately.

Read the book before seeing either version and actually prefer this adaptation over the Swedish version. Moretz utterly destroys the Swede with yet again a masterclass performance.

In terms of films, which is what we're actually here discussing, Let The Right One In IS the original. Read the damn thread if you're gonna act like "the cool guy".

 

[Skog]

All in good jest, I respect those who like and dislike any or all versions of the story. But really, why not say 'the Swedish version'?
I've read the book and watched both films trust me when I say I am anything but cool.

 

[satanclaus]

All in good jest, I respect those who like and dislike any and all 3 versions of the story. But really, why not say 'the Swedish version'?
I've read the book and watched both films trust me when I say I am anything but cool.

Same mate, I just couldn't resist. I think it is simply as I said, because we're here discussing films, it doesn't make sense to mention the book version as being the original, because in terms of films, LTROI is the original. But in terms of everything, the book is the original, LTROI is a book adaptation and LTM is a remake/retelling.

Potato/Potahto!

Obviously, people's tastes differ and you know what you like and don't like better than anyone else. What I would say is, don't be put off by thinking of this as a vampire flick. It isn't. The vampire element is just one aspect of a broader canvas, which revolves around a young, lonely and bullied 12 year old boy. It's his story which is the essence of the movie. It's also one of the few US remakes that actually lives up to the standard of the European original. So, watch it with an open mind, you might surprise yourself and actually enjoy it.

The steelbook looks great but not at that price, maybe its a placeholder price and zavvi will release it for 14.99, can only hope they see sense.
