Just wondering who have you shared the film with?
What was their reaction and overall view of the movie?
I watched it with my mom, and she was wondering why in the world I was doing my book report on it. She would've probably smacked me right up of she read the whole book with all the in depth detail of Hakan

I convinced my mom and my two dearest friends to watch the movie. They were less than "Infected." I haven't met anyone in my walk of life that's even heard of LTROI.

My sister and brother-in-law watched it and liked it, but unfortunately they kept watching it in with the English dub.

Haha I was just wandering around HMV and then there it was first thing I noticed about it was "WATCH IT BEFORE HOLLYWOOD REMAKES IT!" on the back side, so I ended up watching it on Movie Central a few weeks later. LOOOOOOOVED IT.
I only know of one other person who has heard of the movie--she's a movie fanatic.

I don't think I even know anyone with whom I could share this story. It would be mostly lost on them and leave them...confused
. They just wouldn't get it. Another reason I'm glad I found this place.

Tried to watch it with my spouse and in-laws this summer while we were at the beach. She did not like it at all; in fact, we never finished it. Mind you, this is a year after I'd first mentioned it to her and how much I liked it. I gently pestered her for a year and the whole thing was a flop. Oh well.

I've shared with friends and colleagues, but while most of them admitted liking it, none of them caught the Infection as badly as I did.
It takes a
special kind of person to get this story I reckon...
