I’m usually quite annoyed when American remakes are made of what was already a high quality foreign film. I don’t usually like watching the film before reading the book and to be honest, I wish I hadn’t this time either! It’s not that I didn’t enjoy the book, but it did take away some of the thrill of what’s coming next? The film is extremely faithful to the book and I have heard that the same has been said about the American version also. I had already seen the Swedish film before I read the book and thought it was one of the best vampire films I had ever seen. Most people have probably heard of this book by now, what the American film adaptation Let Me In recently being released in cinemas across the globe, as well as the 2008 Swedish film Let The Right One In. As friendship blossoms between them, he discovers her dark secret – she is a 200-year-old vampire, forever frozen in childhood and condemned to live on a diet of fresh blood. He is a twelve-year-old outsider bullied at school, dreaming about his absentee father, bored with life on a dreary housing estate.
