Reply to comment by Bushgjl in What are examples of american remakes being superior to the original? by Platanoes

Let Me in only production value is higher but in terms of story they are similar. Only differences i guess is that in Swedish version girl is more creepy and the end rather has bleak future in my opinion but in American version it doesn’t have bleak future but rather optimistic in them

Really I thought it was the opposite, the American one seems to have a far bleaker and more overt ending. Whereas the original is ambiguous.

What I like more about the American one besides the increased production value is that the child actors are better and I prefer the score.

Well i saw the bleak ending in swedish version cause in Swedish version Vampire was less sympathetic than in Let Me In that’s why. In Let Me In girl vampire did have sympathy moment but in original i noticed she didn’t feel any sadness or unhappiness when someone who helped her died. So it is a sign that she is more manipulative and evil in Swedish version.Well i liked actors on original more and a bleak future it left for viewers and also ambigious ending .
