Awesome tell me what you thought about it

I thought it was great. Many commenters on YouTube moaning about the original Swedish movie and/or the book being better, but I liked it. Normally I am not a big fan of vampire movies, but this one is an exception.

Yes!! I like it because its not the usual vampire tale it sort of has a major understory, Iv seen the original and I think Let Me In is way better. I mean in my opinion it surpasses the original

How does it stand up to the original?
That's a hard one to answer.
The rampant cabin fever and constant paranoia is present in both films.
And the fact that somebody had cottoned on quickly to what the Things true purpose is.
Tbh the overall feel of the original was more grim.
It's all that raging machismo that got everybody at each others throats.
But I don't think more pretty faces in the recent one didn't detract from anything.
Tbh the Norwegians counterbalanced them pretty well.
The more recent one did have a happy end of sorts.
I know Kate was an Antarctica newbie but she should have realised Mcmurdo was a better bet than the Russians.
An other gripe is the presence of five Americans and a Brit.
Tbh the Norwegians approaching Outpost 31 should had a better grasp of the English language.
However that would spoiled the premise of a great film.

I really enjoyed the remake of Let The Right One In, Its called Let Me In, Iv watched that movie about 30 times.
I hate to disagree.
Let The Right One In was one of the blandest films I've seen with gore.
It just didn't press any of my buttons.

A Haunting  

Pretty much of all their episodes are a classic
They top any ghost movie out there and combines it all. The standard of frightfactor is therebut this is retelling from people who have actually lived through what is presented to you now.

It was.

And when you watch a sequel, it is most of the times less 'scary' because you already know what to expect.

I was actually more optimistic than that when it came to The Thing prequel.
