- Vampires have done pretty big business in recent times with awesome ones seen in True Blood who like to screw, fight and drink blood to the not-so-awesome ones who sparkle in the sun like diamonds… ugh. One thing is certain though whether you're a fangbanger or not - vamps aren’t going anywhere, anytime soon. What We Do in the Shadows continues to be a hysterical TV adaptation of the equally hilarious movie, niche arthouse films such as A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night bring a fresh, exciting take on vampire lore, and even Spider-Man’s best friend Ned is now Reginald the Vampire. And don’t get us started on Morbius.
In 2008, however, Swedish film director Tomas Alfredson thrust himself on the vampire scene with his widely praised film adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s 2004 vampire novel Let The Right One In. Alfredson’s wonderfully atmospheric film of the same name managed to keep the traditional vampire lore so well-known across popular culture while providing a novel spin on some of its codes and conventions as well as taking a beautiful look at pre-teen relationships and emotions.
Two years later, Cloverfield director and future Batman helmer Matt Reeves remade the film, keeping the tone of the movie very similar to both the original film and the source material, and retaining the same story beats as the Swedish original. Reeves would claim that his film was more of an adaptation of the novel rather than a remake of the movie, yet it’s a very faithful adaptation of both and proves that sometimes American remakes of much-loved foreign horror movies actually do work. We’re looking at you The Wicker Man! So let’s sink our teeth into this eerie edition of… FACE OFF!
This episode of Face-Off is written by Adam Walton, narrated by Shawn Knippelberg, and edited by Adam Walton. But don’t let us have the final word - tell us in the comments which arthouse vampire flick is your pick. Let the Right One In or Let Me In?

I watched the US version first and loved it. But then i saw the Swedish version and loved it more. I feel like the US version spells everything out for you where the Swedish version lets you take it in and figure things out for yourself
I LOVE Let the Right One In. It has charm. A tragic but romantic fairy tale.
Loved both movies, the book is the real gem though
Me to. Can't go wrong with either. I have both on AmazonPrime. Enjoy both equally. And yes, the Book IS better.
Fun fact The Swedish version of this film was shot in the Area where I used to live Luleå.
As the film needed extra snow something that Luleå had received quite a lot during that winter.
I like how it takes all the way until the end of the first watch to realize that oskar was the true victim the entire time. The film grooms you like the vampire grooms the little boy.
I do like the bittersweet ending, knowing that eventually Oskar will grow old and outlive his usefulness and maybe end up like the other guy. But for the time being he is happy and in love.
@@darkwoods1954 That's not what you're supposed to get from the ending at all. He just signed his entire life away to murder people for a monster. That's not bittersweet, it's horrifying
Brilliant take
That's exactly why when I try to play the movie to friends, I try and go with the swedish version because the story is so much more in depth to that. Well as long as they are friends that aren't too lazy to read subtitles. This is a subtitles movie that is not lost in translation like many others.
Idk how a kid can "support" a vampire kid, he cant get a job, an apartment, a car... right now he's happy and in love but in 6 years (in the film) its gonna become really weird and sketchy!!!
Dam straight it's LET THE RIGHT ONE IN!
Let The Right One In is an infinitely superior version. Let Me In isn't necessarily a bad movie, just a completely unnecessary one. It didn't need to exist and shows the difference in why both were created. The Swedish version clearly took it's time and didn't find the slower pace a hindrance. The lack of traditional "action" for a "horror" movie wasn't a weakness and its sparse use made it feel more impactful and meaningful.. Compare that to the US version and they didn't want to bore the audience in the first few minutes by putting the police time skip scene in thinking we wouldn't be interested in staying to watch if it started off with the cold slow opening sequence with Oskar/Owen.
The American film could have included scenes from the book not in the Swedish film but sadly decided to lazily copy the original movie.
Let the right one In is a truly great film and refreshing for horror fans tired of trudging through formulaic, so so fare.
The book is even better.
I gave the remake a watch, it is like a tracing of a piece of art, thin and disposable.
@@lordsofkobol7385 You might wanna check out 'All the moons' before Hollywood ruins it with a remake
Yo why let the right one in is a bad movie 😢😂
I'm 12 years old but I've been 12 years old for a very long time.
Carrie 1976 vs. Carrie 2013.
La original sueca de las últimas películas de vampiros que se pueden ver y disfrutar.
La versión estadounidense, lo mismo de siempre: a toda velocidad con muchas historias sin concretar nada.
Let The Right One In: a film with a child who happens to be a vampire.
Let Me In: a film with a vampire who happens to be a child.
What I love about both movies is that the vampire is the hero and the humans (the bullies) are the monsters.
I loved the og way more, mostly cuz the lead actor's chemestry and overall perfomance was unmatched
Let the right one in. No question about it.
"Let Me In" was a good Vampire movie in a time where the Vampire genre was tainted by Twilight. I liked the cast,gore,80's setting,story,ect., Matt Reeves did a good job with that flick.
I have to admit I still haven't watch this two movies, but they are on my watchlist an will watch them soon!
Saying the direction of Let me in is better than Let the right one is crazy. Genuinely bonkers.
It’s one of the most excellently directed movies of all time.
This is like saying you genuinely prefer an overcooked, unsalted school-lunch pasta over a gourmet-made, 5 star pasta
Let the Right One In is a much better film than the remake. Both alter from the short novel, but the original film adaptation creates a tied loop which gives the impression that the vampire lives through cycles of “familiars”. It’s creepy, moving, lonely and tragic. A very good film and the American remake pales in comparison.
I actually saw LET ME IN for the 1st time yesterday and i really liked it, i had no idea it was made by Matt Reaves, so i was like 'Hope this director made another movie, he's pretty good!" That car crash has to be one of the best in a movie, the acid face and the fall are brutal but those CGI attack scenes are HORRIBLE!!!
I can’t agree with direction. The cool tones of the original are so much more beautiful and deep than the washed out super lights of the remake. The monotone delivery in the remake by Eli is clearly a directing choice, while the original has Eli showing much more depth of emotion. Lastly, the original had a greater subtext as Eli seemed like a good person trapped doing evil, while Oscar seemed to have more actual capacity for violence. This contrasts with the remake where the vampire is clearly an evil manipulator looking for a new servant.
I just bought Let me in yesterday, and watched it today. The first time I saw it was on demand years ago.
I really enjoy the remake, but it could never touch the original, the dirty dealings of the director (Cutting out the reveal, trying to create a public backstory for "Abby" to erase the fact it was a boy ect,ect) was so typically "American" , an audience that almost demands a dumbing down for mainstream profit. Even that aside, the fact it isn't really made point of in the film means you can watch it KNOWING the truth and pretty much nothing is said to contradict it in the film itself, so I do love Let Me In. Let The Right One In however is masterpiece that can't be touched and one of, if not the, best Vamp flick ever made.
I think they are equally great
you didn't get it: the "father" is NOT her father... grasp the concept of cycle?
Let The Right One In for me. Let Me In was also a good film, and I would watch both of them again, but the original has something special about it. But yeah, both good films and I’m not unhappy that the remake was produced.
The Book is 10000000 times more awesome than both movies. Saw the Swedish film first then sought out the book
Matt Reeves sure loves the color brown
No comparison! Let the right one in is literally a beautiful movie all around. Scenic shots, music,.. even some of the horror scenes just from angles used. Movie felt like an art piece. Let me in was just your typical Hollywood cash grab. Not terrible but can’t compete.
First I saw...
Let Me In = A
Then I saw...and changed to....
Let The Right One In = A+
Let Me In = B+
Same with Quarantine vs Rec. I saw Quarantine first and thought it was really good. Then I saw Rec and thought it was definitely better, but I still like Quarantine. I'll watch either. To me, it's not that deep. People act so snobby over movies.
I enjoyed the first season of Let the Right One In tv series on AMC. I hope it gets a second season.
💛💜
HES NOT HER FATHER !JESUS CHRIST! She’s thousands of years old! He was her lover! God knows how many young men she tempted!
Not in Let the Right One In. He was a pedo she got to kill for her a little while before the book starts. She told Oskar in the book that she hadn’t had a normal friendship with anyone in 200 years.
@@stevenpotts2752 Ah.
@@YogBaal I wish I understood why Matt Reeves changed that in Let Me In. It did nothing but undermine the kids relationship. The heart of the story.
Eli isn't a girl.
Eli is neither boy or girl. I like how it has you wondering but later Eli shows you what it is.
The original he's a boy who the vampire pulled off his pork...it's why he has a scar on his CROTCH!
I mean, LMI is good, but comparing it to LTROI is like comparing a hamburger to a delicate dish.
Fun fa..no I'm not going to do that.Chloe Moritz,star of the crappy remake of Let The Right One In,also appeared in the title role in the crappy remake of Carrie.
You should do Jacob's Ladder vs Silent Hill
Maggie McKeown: Mr. Grogan, I'm looking for two teenagers that disappeared a few weeks ago. Some friends of theirs said they went camping around here.
Paul Grogan: Well, I haven't seen them. You talk to the sheriff's people?
Maggie McKeown: I did. They told me that it's a pretty big mountain area.
Paul Grogan: It is.
Maggie McKeown: So... I was wondering if there are any places around here they might be or if they may have gone for a swim.
Paul Grogan: Well if they drowned, they'd be swept down to the dam. So, you're starting off at the wrong end.
Maggie McKeown: Boy, you're the wrong end all right
1978 horror b movie classic piranha😎
The Swedish version is better.
Imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery. The US version is very good but would still slightly give 'it' to the Swedish version.
Also would have referenced Rec and Quarantine.
I like them both.
Let the right one in 2022 series is it the same story line?
I think that the American version leans a little too far into the concept that you probably have already seen the original Sweedish version going into it. Plus, I always felt that Chloe Moretz appeared a little too feminine for the character, given they were actually a young prince that had been neutered in the original book.
Wait what???🤯🤯🤯
@@BruceWayne-mh2qf Yes, the original vampire is a young male that had his privates cut off. Read the book.
Never seen the remake, so I don't know if I can comment on the reason for it's remake. But I feel the cultural divide, as much as anything else has a lot to do with it.
I don't think North America audiences would relate to the original in the same way as they never lived it, in that era in Europe.
They used areas of Sweden that was unchanged from that era, and even using small stickers, communism etc. And the harsh/different times of Scandinavia before it changed. To draw you back to a different time. Even the hair-cuts are on point. Just my thoughts why it was made.
That said, the original was a "horror" movie that people who hated horror movies liked. It is truly a great film.
Let The Right In is The Best one.
This is like comparing a fine aged coniac to a £7 bottle of supermarket brandy that does the job but it's just not got the flavour and quality....And the best vampire movie ever is Near Dark.
As much as I love near dark, if I was asked my favourite vampire movie it would be a toss up between Let The Right One In and The Lost Boys. Near Dark is a better movie than lost boys, don't get me wrong but in terms of personal enjoyment you can't go wrong with that film.
@@medes5597 I'd put 'only lovers left alive' before lost boys any day...
I've only seen 5 great vampire movies.
The Lost Boys
Fright Night
Near Dark
From Dusk Till Dawn
Blade
Just my personal opinion.
Let the Right One In is BY FAR the better version. The only thing that I like about Let Me In is the fact it takes place in the 80’s which is when I was growing up so it was nice to relive those days! I’m not sure if LTROI also takes place in the 80’s as well as they never really specified the time/decade that it takes place.
Yes, LTROI does take place in the 80s…there’s a radio broadcast at one point that confirms it’s taking place in the 80s as they’re talking about the Soviet Union.
@@danmann861 Awesome! Thanks! I obviously didn’t pay attention to that background broadcast regarding the Soviet Union lol
The clue is in the name. Let The RIGHT One In is vastly superior. The American remake had potential if it had adapted the book and included scenes not in the original film. Sadly the American remake squandered that potential and lazily copied the Swedish film.
Let Me In screams “me too” while doing absolutely nothing of interest with the source material and has all the subtlety of a brick to the head. LTROI wins for me on all rounds.
i own both both are good i really should read the book too
I think that these movies are similar to Ring/The Ring in that both are excellent adaptations, and a person's favourite is probably the first one seen.
I both prefer Ring and LTROI but really enjoy the remakes a helluva lot, they're both up there as better examples of remaking a movie.
Must say I prefer the original…. The “remake” feels too “Hollywood”….
I liked the remake, but it’s just the same movie with only a few differences
The original is always the best
The American one is pretty bad. I’m a huge fan of the book, and the OG Swedish movie.
Let Me In the English Version For me is the Better Version. I never tired of watching it over and over again for some reason.
I still refuse to watch Let Me In. I can't imagine it being as good or better than Let the Right One In, movie or the book.
it's not.
I gotta say, and I know I'm gonna catch hell, but I like the re-make just a little more. I'm not even sure why, I just love it.
There are only three good remakes: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), The Thing (1981), and The Fly(1986). Arguably John Carpenter's The Thing is another adaptation of the story Who Goes There? and not strictly a remake.
“Let Me In”. More intense. 👍🏾!
Chloe Grace Moretz was amazing in that movie
It's Let Me In all the way for me. The original is terrific but visually, the remake is mesmerizing and the acting is as top-notch as the original, in my opinion. Truly horrifying turn of events, even as I found myself rooting for the 'monster'. One of my favorite vampire movies of all time and the one I would recommend to anyone who is not familiar with the story, or the less sophisticated viewer who doesn't 'get' the subtitles from the stellar, original version.
I always say that Let Me In is among the best American horror remakes
Let Me In would make for a great third film in a trilogy with Bram Stoker's Dracula and Interview With a Vampire.
Honestly I like both.... but the cinematograph in Let Me In was superb to me... from the beginning of the film with the snow covered forest and you just see the police car lights shining on the dark road .... and the ending when she crash through and killed the boy's bullies... head and limbs flying and 💩.... and then they hugged on the end while the dead bodies looked chopped up meat and then that daunting creepy song plays while they're hugging... it was just something about Let Me In that had this creativity as far as camera angles, the color of the film was rich.... than Let The Right One In.. I like both though
I prefer Let Me In. And yes, I saw the original first.
There is literally NOTHING, nothing about the US version that is better then the original. The original is perfection… the remake is a meh at best. In fact, I can’t think of a US remake in any genre that is better than the foreign original. Us Americans always ruin the original. Here, it’s not even close. Not even in the ball park.
Let me in ...I think is better...but the original the vampire yank off the kid junk!!!
The American one is 10 times better.
The wrong movie won this !!!!!
Okay. Agreed. The vampire was ancient, the "father figure" was just one of her victims: at risk children seduced and warped into killers in servitude to her hunger. This is not a love story but a story of unnatural desires and child abuse.
Yeah I'm sorry foreign film nerds but the remake just has better actors and better acting. And they took out everyone's inexplicably 'favorite' part of the movie, that Eli is a mutilated boy and not a girl. Yet to hear any reason why that makes one version superior to the other.
Seriously the whole boy not girl thing is so unnecessary.
Sorry Chloe can't act at all .
I'm with you 100 percent. Let Me In is better but the anti-Hollywood, Indie movie crowd must have their gender backstory mystery, the artsy, pretty look of the film, and of course, the senseless ambiguity for the thinking, sophisticated person to relish on. And I could care less which one is truer to the novel. The original is terrific but the remake kicks you in the ass and stays with you for many moons after. This is true horror.
Let me in, is so bad.Chloe Moretz can't act she awful .whispering the whole movie the boy was bad too. Policeman was a joke movie start out watching a ambulance diving for 10 minutes 😴
Let Me In was a disappointment when I saw it. Of course, I watched Let The Right One In first. So,.....
that ronald reagan speech also means it in real life as well as the movie.
01:29 Huh? Have we watched the same movie?
"Faithful"? Seriously...? Oh jeez...
