I took my teenage son to see "let Me In" fully expecting to sleep thru some Twilight-esque gheyness. I was pleasently surprised that it was actually an original take that deglamorised the Vampire SubGenre. As Ping said - it's nice to see Vampires portrayed as monsters again. Plus it was nice to see the thirst from the vampire's POV - an unfortunate addiction that must be quenched despite the repurcussions.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else see it? Thoughts?

i saw it with my girl who is REEAALY into vampires (it concerns me)

I fell asleep during the first 20 minutes b/c it was so slow, but it was worth my 5 bucks to see at the theatre. I liked the non glamourized aspect it came from and the old school vampire myths it had.

ex: i didnt know a vampire must ask permission before they come into your home (granting permission gives them dominance or somethin)

and some other tidbits i cant remember off hand.... girlfriend is really into stuff like that and gave me all sorts of info.

me n my girl went to see it. we were talking about how it was kinda pedofile for her to lure that boy to be with her even though she's like 200 years old?

but yeah decent movie. I"m not all that into vampires either so yeah.

Yeah - Exactly! It was stuff like that that really turned me around to this movie. The also supposedly cannot cross running water either FYI. I thought the bleeding from very Christ-like wounds was a weird choice but interesting none-the-less.
I'm def buying when it comes to DVD

Uh oh - looks like I'm not the only one around here with a gothic GF - yours may just be in the closet ATM

This is a remake of the original Russian version. But from what I hear, it stays true to the original.
