Let The Right One In

Remakes are just plain laziness, especially when all it basically is is an English language version of a superior foreign film. If people weren't so averse to subtitles then we wouldn't be in this situation, it's just lazy.

Some of the best films i've seen recently have been subtitled. 'Martyrs', 'Inside' and 'Oldboy' are prime examples, and at least two of them are being pointlessly remade to pander to American audiences that can't be arsed to do a bit of reading...
 
Is the Orphanage also getting the Hollywood treatment??? Oh dear ... a shame!

Also goes for both Martyrs and Let the Right One In! I don't want either to get an inferior remake :(
 
One of the more disturbing stories in the book is
Hakaan survives his hospital fall, and because of the bite Eli gave him turns into a vampire in the morgue. He kills the security guard, and hunts Eli down with the mother of all erections, as he is/was a convicted paedophile who Eli had lured into protecting her/him by small sexual favours. Hakaan corners her/him in a basement and all but rapes her/him before being attacked by a glue sniffer who pulps his face literally into mush.
A charming read :D
 
And Them more or less got a remake in The Strangers, but no, not influenced at all by Them...



Well you didn't really see anything of a graphic nature to do with the
children in that scene.
So if the remake goes with how the original filmed it, it would not be a problem. The person who actually had his
arm ripped off in the water was an older teenager anyway. Older teenagers
are killed all the time in Hollywood.

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather not see an American version, but I've stopped wasting my time getting angry over remakes.
 
The film was so much better than the book, that particular scene must have lasted about 50 pages :sleep: and added absolutely nothing to the storyline, I think the writer must have been mentally ill while completing it.
