I've seen this and I would say it's one unique vampire film, worthy of its acclaim. If your into vampire films, include this in your list...

Interesting film. Hope it ranks well along with Interview with the Vampire. Twilight was such a disappointment.

The director of Cloverfield is planning on making an English Version of this movie. I hope it lives up with this one and not flop..

Anyone seen this movie?

[klemzhou]

why do people compare this to Twilight? Twilight was a mushy, romantic vamp film... and I think "Let the right one in" is a horror love story... just my 2 cents..
