  It simply fails to make the connections between budgets and quality of film making in the film industry. The advantages and disadvantages to having more money to make a film are a lot more complex than how you dress a hooker. There's just no metaphorical connection.

    "Let the Right One In," was better. Quite obviously, it was vastly inferior. Of course, you had to be able to read subtitles, a high hurdle for some here.

          That was the one thing that was actually done pretty well in the remake. I consider the original to be a masterpiece and arguably the smartest horror film since the days of The Exorcist and Jaws. The remake clearly failed to capture everything that was good about the original. But I can't fault the actors for that. It was a good cast and they did as well as could be asked with the material rewritten the way it was.
