I have it on my computer but haven't yet. Will watch it later this week, I think. Heard that it's vastly different because the caretaker character wasn't a child when they met/is maybe a pedo...IDEK.
In the book which (according to the filmakers at least) BOTH movies were based on this is the situation.
The vampire girl is actually a boy with genitals removed. The guy who is acting as the vampire's guardian of sorts is a pedo. And there are absolutely no main characters working as a caretaker.
One thing the original "Let The Right One In" movie did, which is very rare indeed, was to make a movie which stayed true to the book while remaining a very good piece of work in and of itself. I saw the movie first then read the book while my better half came to them the other way around. Both us loved both the book and the movie.
So yeah, a lot of us are actually wondering why they even needed to make this remake (never mind what's going on with the weird title change). Perhaps you could give us a longer review?
