I really thought Let Me In was awful compared to the original. I've been getting thoroughly reamed for thinking so though. There seems to be some kind of putrid sense of cinema patriotism running rampant. When I tell people the film they just watched was a remake of a foreign film, I get alot of "I don't wanna watch no gook movie with subtitles" kind of responses.

I'm not even trying to be indie. It's just that often times, the original is simply better. I don't see why we even need to remake films like we do. Pan's Labyrinth being in Spanish hardly belied it's popularity. Then again, Pan's Labyrinth was pretty unique, and incorporated talent from all over the world. Remaking it would be almost racist.
