Have you seen “Let The Right One In” on DVD?
Question by Yoga Punguin: Have you seen “Let The Right One In” on DVD?
Some of you may be wondering if those who are complaining about the bad subtitles are exaggerating. They are not!
I am listening to the English language 5.1 audio and just discovered they’re reading the original “good” theatrical subtitles. They make many scenes much more sensible.
If you want to experience complete frustration, play the English 5.1 audio with the English subtitles on. You will understand why there is so much anger. The bad subtitles really do change and/or ruin some scenes.
Unfortunately, some of the English language voice work does not do the script justice, so listening to the Swedish and reading the original subs would be ideal. But you can’t!!!
What a shame! This is the sweetest yet most haunting film I’ve seen in years. I don’t want to admit how many times I’ve watched it the past eight days.
But… this is a very quiet, slow movie. If you expect a lot of screaming and bloody fangs, you’re in the wrong place.
This is basically a love story… with moments of real horror and dread. Plus some understated but eerie special effects. They’re not flashy, just effective. This movie makes you believe there might actually be vampires lurking about.
Speaking of love: that’s what I feel for this.
Love the movie; hate the subtitles debacle. Again: If you want to hear the theatrical subtitles being read, listen to the English language 5.1 audio. (I am using the 5.1 English audio. I can’t vouch for 2.0. They may have botched that.)
I’m hoping this situation won’t lead to a Catch-22: They’ll release DVDs with the original subtitles AFTER the pressing with the “bad” subtitles is sold out. But few people want the bad subtitles! Are we going to be stuck with the incomprehensible English subs? Stay tuned horror/romance fans…
Oh… make sure you watch until the closing credits start or you may miss an important last scene.
Enjoy. This is a real gem. I wonder if this is the type of movie that inspires people to make movies?
I love the understatement of this movie. No screaming and running around. A gentle, sympathetic vampire movie? That’s what this is.
I can’t stop thinking this is the type of movie that inspires others to make movies but I’m afraid the American remake will be much louder and bloodier.
Is this a minor masterpiece? Even the very effective special effects are subtle but eerie. They don’t have to pound you over the head, Hollywood!
How can they improve on the girl walking barefoot in the snow or her stomach growling (slightly) when she smells blood? The silent but unsettling way she climbs trees and buildings?
I’m afraid Hollywood will have her snarl, growl, and moan loudly when the boy slits his palm.
Hopefully, they’ll prove me wrong but don’t bet the rent on it.
This makes most other bloodsucker flicks seem lurid and grotesque.
