sweet,, i like the way you present this article, i never watch twilight, but i watched let the right one in,, (unfortunately it is english dubbed, i wish i could watch it with english subbed) the starts bore me but as it goes on, i was hooked. it was really the greatest vampire movie in the last decade. i also liked the actress who portrayed eli,, she is so cute to be a vampire.

I think it’s unfair to compare these two movies Let the Right One In isn’t for the same age group as Twilight. As a (non-drepressed:P) mom I’m looking forward to both these films. One I plan to see with friends when it shows in LA and the other I will take my daughter to see. I enjoy vampires stories in all forms even the teen oriented cheesy affairs. Twilight may not turn out be a good film, but as long as it entertains me I’ll be good.

Indeed, Fury. Let’s let spoofs be the exception. Selzer and friedberg need to star in a parody of snuff films directed by me.

Let the Right One In is a great film. I’m not a fan of the Twilight saga and the trailers just look so predictable.
If ever there was a great unpredictable vampire film it’s Let the Right One in.

I have no interest in seeing Twilight, but I want to see this, but I think it is unfair to compare the two films without having seen one of them. I mean, I tore into all those mothers about wanting to boycott “Tropic Thunder” without having seen it, so I would by hypocritical to slam a film without seeing. (Except Spoof movies, because they are the product of the AntiChrist)

I don’t think the films can really be compared because while they might be both about a vampire and a human and their relationship, it’s like comparing a romantic comedy to a dark drama.

Twilight is a YA Romance. It’s simplistic and follows a very specific formula because that’s what it’s supposed to do.

Let the Right One In seems like a really interesting movie, and it’s certainly more my style. But I don’t think the movies should really be judged together at all.

Always the ‘Twilight’ apologist Cole… but the fact is it’s a certainty that ‘Twilight’ will be a lesser film than ‘Let the Right One In.’ But that’s okay, because the error in this article’s title is the assumption that ‘Twilight’ wants to be a smart, beautiful, contemplative, shocking, and touching film… when instead it really only wants to be a blockbuster beginning to a lucrative franchise for tweens and their depressed mothers.

And if I’m wrong about ‘Twilight’ and it turns out to be a great movie… I’ll perform the milkshake monologue from ‘There Will Be Blood’ at next year’s Comic Con. I swear.

Obviously Twilight isn’t out yet, so it’s tough to make a call – although it’s reasonable to assume that the target market will play heavily into how the story is told.

Let the Right One In is a brilliant film. I’m hoping that it receives enough of a boost to get a wider audience when it’s released in November (limited). Beautiful, sweet, innocent. It succeeds with the vampire love story because it’s about 12-year olds. Young love is the purest right? That first playground crush? It’s powerful stuff.

I’m so disappointed I heard about this after it played here and that I have to wait to see it now.
