Movie Title in Other Languages

[pristidae]

I thought it would be interesting to figure out what LTROI is called in some other languages (excluding the ones more commonly encountered when doing LTROI searches, like German, French and Spanish). My personal favorites are: "Friends After Dark", and the more risque, "Vampire Nighttime Love" -- really encapsulates the central theme of LTROI...

Chinese book (血色童話 - “Bloody Fairytale”):

Kudos to you, pristidae; you must have put some time in on this. Thanks for sharing. :)

I love the original Swedish book cover, retitled in the Chinese and Finnish versions above. Looks like the film's Eli, even though the design was produced several years prior, and captures the little girl-predator-death juxtaposition...

Morse? I think this title isn't the best

I like the Italian book cover. It is the most different from the rest. The "ectoplasmic" Eli conjures the dream like fantasy the film has.

In my culture, the Malay folklore is prevalent and the idea of a female supernatural being (pontianak) out to seduce a young man warns us to be wary of feminine charms. So the Italian book cover would have invoked the interest of many here. Just as how Nang Nak drew so many viewers.

I agree, the Original Swedish looks the best, and I think it reveals more of the true tone of the story with the funereal pose and a few spots of blood. Yes it does look somewhat like Lina as well.
Though I didn't like the Finnish translation of the title. What was up with that?
I also like the Korean version as it is Lina but vague and mysterious rather than just covered in blood. I like the soft glass, though it could use something in it to define that it's a doorway or window she's looking through.

if you want I can share the name of the movie in my language, though it is not equal, but it expresses the same meaning,

the poster looks the same as the English one where Eli is behind the hazy glass and the "Let the right one in" is rewrite to "Ať vejde ten pravý" = something like "Let enter the right one" just different word order

p.s. my language is Czech
p.p.s. I don't know how to insert the poster into this message

maybe just like this?

The Italian book cover reminds me of Edvard Munch.

Here is some Munch for reference, leaving aside The Cry which is very famous:

The Dance of Life.


and of course, the Vampire.

The Polish DVD adds a little subtitle "My friend, the vampire".
The Russian is typical - immediately under the title "Let me in" it gives what appears to be the main reason for seeing the movie: it was a "hit" in New-York and Los Angeles!
The Japanese title would be understood by the relatively small number of Japanese whose English is good enough.
