I was thinking that I should re-acquaint myself with the novel, but after your review I guess it is best if I come to the film with no expectations. I wonder how long it will take before I can stream it in the US?
And streaming with a dub but no subtitles does not count.

Re: Let the Right One In "Frome"
My daughter gave me one for my birthday last year. I would not have bought one for myself, but now having one I feel like I would have been missing out on something. It is amazing to me how this Frome can evoke the emotional narrative of the film. When I look at it, if I don't try to examine it and ...

Re: New TV adaptation ordered by Showtime
"The show is both a love letter to the original film and a unique story of its own", Hinderaker added. Every piece of LTROI fan fic I've ever read is also a love letter to the story. This is right sentiment in my view. I'm in. Untethering their stories from the original story line while keeping to ...

Re: What makes a vampire?
I think that perhaps a hint to what a vampire is occurs just a few lines before the excerpt that you included above: She hesitated. Oskar stayed in the same position, with his hand on the jacket he had just hung up. He looked at the jacket as he asked: "Are you a vampire?" She wrapped her arms aroun...

Re: HtU film starts production in 2021
This is interesting. While to me LTROI was definitely a story about love, (and I think Harbour was as well), HtU was a story about grief more than it was a story about love. Did any of the Undead give any sign that they felt love? Maybe I should put it on my list of things to do to re-read HtU to se...

Re: HtU film starts production in 2021
"Handling the Undead is a magical realistic love story about accepting that which we cannot control. The film reflects on life, death, human relationships and nature. Genre-wise we find ourselves somewhere between drama and art house horror." "Love story"? This hints that the screenplay will not be...

Re: Is there potential for a Cobra Kai angle to Oskar's bullying?
Even Tommy doesn't know it started, but it doesn't seem to surprise him. There was the scene where he ran into Oskar in the basement:: The door opened. Tommy was standing there, blinking. "What the hell?" Oskar wanted to say something, but his jaws were locked shut. He simply stayed where he was, kn...

Re: Have You Infected a Friend?
I never recommend it to people anymore. When pressed about it, I tell people that, "It won't meet your expectations, because your expectations will be wrong." I came to the conclusion that most recommendees were so disappointed or confused about not seeing what they expected, or spent so much time w...
