Both films feature stand out performances from their male leads, Kåre Hedebrant and Kodi Smit-McPhee. Wondering which performance or which film moved you more?

Why should we compare them?  Can't they both be great without one of them "losing" to the other?

I will say this: if you compare both of them to the book, then the book wins!

I liked them both.

Since I saw Let the Right One In (2008) first, I tend to
lean toward that one as being a little more 'gritty'.

Haven't read the book.  Will look into getting a copy!

Thanks!

Kare Hedebrant was the slightly better performance I thought and, what's more, he knew the better gear to wear for bed.    Wink

I did enjoy both movies. After watching the first, I did listen to the author read the Swedish version of the book (which was excellent).

I suppose I preferred the book, then the Swedish movie (i did see it first, and found it grittier, as Bowser mentioned) then the American version... but all were wonderful!

For me, the American version is my fave, only because I don't have to keep pausing to read the subs, I do like both movies equally! I'm not much a book reader, and probably won't get around to reading the book, but if I can find it on audio book in English, I will give it a listen! Smiley

I'm a fan of the original one so for me it is Kåre Hedebrant in Låt den rätte komma in even though I have seen both movies and also own both.

I like both movies. I prefer the Swedish version overall, but I really really really like Kodi Smit-McPhee, so they're almost equal in my mind.

I also agree that the book was very good and went into some detail that is not included in either movie. But I'm not sure I really prefer the book to the movies. It's a different art form and difficult to compare.
