Meanwhile a police officer is investigating the murder cases believing that it is a satanic cult.


What with the shear genius of the origional “Låt den rätte komma in” I was worried about a remake so soon after. I was convinced that Hollywood would screw this up but they didn’t. If anything Matt Reeves has managed to make this amazing story more accessible to everyone… just as gritty as it’s Swedish parent film this is an absolute winner!!! Loved it!
