And I agree: the original is the way to go!<br /><br />Captain GoTHMcLad: It's interesting that they avoided the word in both the movie and the novel (I never read the book). Though I'm guessing it's obvious enough what that character is, so saying "vampire" isn't exactly a necessity :-)DVD Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986606131886453883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-74233896569948310522018-03-23T17:22:34.412-04:002018-03-23T17:22:34.412-04:00Ssssh don't say the v word vampires are nor me...Ssssh don't say the v word vampires are nor mentioned once in this film or the book it's based on only the remake does lol CpT GoThMcLaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944190834572141417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-56430770238594668082013-10-08T19:33:51.494-04:002013-10-08T19:33:51.494-04:00This is one of my favorite horror films.

That's a real help for anyone looking to pick it up!<br /><br />Klaus: If you do have the "bad" subtitles, the Blu-Ray corrects the issue (and this is a film worth having on Blu-Ray, IMHO).<br /><br />Thanks, guys!DVD Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986606131886453883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-41210914319790054552012-01-03T15:34:06.623-05:002012-01-03T15:34:06.623-05:00I hadn't realized that about the subtitles - i...I hadn't realized that about the subtitles - i'll have to check which version i have.

The second release of the DVD uses the theatrical subtitles. <br /><br />If anybody wants to check this movie out (and I think you should :-) ), be sure to check the DVD box: back cover, lower left, it should say "SUBTITLES: ENGLISH (Theatrical), SPANISH." If it just says, "ENGLISH, SPANISH," pass it by, or watch the dubbed version.Anthony Lee Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220568709463059291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-39028140965478581102012-01-02T08:17:38.614-05:002012-01-02T08:17:38.614-05:00Anthony: Exactly!

If some thought is put into Vampire films (or any genre or sub-genre, for that matter) instead of trudging out the same old thing, then something wonderful like this film will be the result.<br /><br />As for the remake, I understand many people don't like subtitles, but (and I don't do this myself), the DVD/Blu-Ray of LET THE RIGHT ONE IN does have an English dub track, and THAT is still better than the American remake (which wasn't bad...just unnecessary).<br /><br />And yes...we see the tragedy that is the life of a Vampire, and not the supposed "glamour" so many other films build around the condition. When she DOES turn someone, it's only because she was interrupted before finishing them off.<br /><br />Excellent comment.

You think, "I am so sic...That's the thing. You think, "I am so sick of vampires!" and then this comes along. What a great film. I think the use of music is underrated, too. I saw the remake, and it is similar in a lot of ways, but the music is annoying, which made me realize how perfect the music is here, and how perfectly it matches the visual composition.<br /><br />Also, from a genre standpoint, I like it because it is not at all romantic about vampires. It is, in its way, a very romantic film, but it pretty clearly shows what a terrible life it would be to be a vampire. As you point out, throughout the film Eli is desperate not to attack Oskar. She wouldn't wish her life on anybody, let alone somebody she cares about.Anthony Lee Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220568709463059291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-33997002772011159162011-12-31T03:36:57.416-05:002011-12-31T03:36:57.416-05:00Klaus: Thanks for stopping by!
