Still haven't gotten around to see the American version yet, but I quite look forward to it, just to see how it is because I loved the Swedish version.

Also, my boyfriend has the book and I can't decide if I wanna start reading that or Stieg Larsson's Millenium triology.

Finally saw this. It's been awhile since I've seen the original, but from what I remember, they're remarkably similar. I did enjoy this one though.

For anyone who has seen the remake, does the remake in some way push the notion that girl is actually a boy like in the book and the original?

i was referring to his question. in the first movie, what i took from it was that it was implied that she used to be a girl but now isn't. i found it strange that he asked specifically if she was a boy. i haven't read the book, but yeah.

Well in the book, Eli was castrated by a vampire nobleman hence why I asked. Plus, it is worth noting that the actress who played Eli in the original had her voice dubbed over with a male's.

I liked it! It was quite pointless, as a million others have said, but I fucking love Chloe and thought she did great. The atmosphere,you could tell it was trying to replicate, but in doing so, it kind of created its own unique feel. I dunno. I'm not over-the-moon about it, but it was still enjoyable.

If you loved the American adaptation, the Swedish one will blow your mind.

I disagree.

The part where he wants to make a pact and she looks at him. Intense.

I need to see the original, and read the book. Ajvide Lindqvist is a fantastic author, Handling the Undead is a super good book.

I love the book. There is such a huge part of the book left out of both of the movies and that's a bummer, but understandable.
