Overall the US film is very close to the Swedish one in plot, dialogue, and even in scenery in many places, but there are some differences including the virtual elimination of the boy's father and the elimination of the group of friends who know the victim killed by Eli/Abby under the bridge.

"Let Me In" isn't bad. I rented it yesterday and watched it last night. It's a good film but I think "Let The Right One In" is a great film. If you know and like the Swedish film I suspect you won't be impressed by the American remake.

I bought a copy of "Let The Right One In". I won't be buying a copy of "Let Me In". I doubt I'll rent it a second time unless my rental store gets the BD copy in so I can see how much better it looks/sounds in hi-def than on DVD. I found dialogue muffled in some places on the the DVD and had to resort to subtitles to work out what was being said.

I read the book and was surprised how close Let the Right One In is to the story nt - Daryl Zero 17:40:29 03/04/11 (0)

Well, it's not like the characters discuss metaphysics! I think the visuals pretty tell the story. nt - tinear 16:29:55 03/04/11 (0)

The original was great, "Let the Right One In." Remakes seldom get near the original. nt - tinear 11:13:32 03/04/11 (1)

The remake is superior by far to the original..... - mr grits 16:59:44 03/04/11 (0)
