If that's not a horror movie, then neither is Dracula.

Yes for us Scandinavians films from over here have a special place in our souls, especially if the movies in question do very well and are good movies to be proud of.

Well perhaps, but I have always seen Let The Right One In more as a bit dark youth film not as a horror movie. I have always been against the tendency of everything with a bit of a supernatural theme being called horror. Like for example Practical Magic which often ends up on the horror shelves even if it is clearly drama. Yes it have a angry ghost, a possession and a few spooky effects and allot of magic and a curse, however the main focus of the film is drama.

That being said, I am not that scared by Dracula either, but Dracula at least is made to be scary, Let The Right One In I do not think is made for that.

Sometimes one need a few words to explain something, that is what they are there for. :)

This is one of the better horror flicks I've seen in a while. The main character, Owen, was the epitome of the word dink, but at least he bagged the vampire babe in the end.

Or at least became her new bitch.

Yeah ... very cool movie.

Well as someone who was bullied in school I can not say how satisfying the end of Let the Right One In was and I assume the remake will have the same ending. I could watch that ending all day. I think they should show this movie in school, just to put some fear into bullies. It might work if they are not to old. :P
