Let The Right One In

I saw the American remake, not knowing there was a Swedish original, and I tend to like the one I see first better BUT there are many key reasons why I perferred the American film.
First of all, the cat scene. When I saw the American version, I was disappointed that they used CGI in the scene with the runner in the tunnel (especially after seeing it done so well without CGI in the Swedish version) but the fake cats attacking the lady was too much and I had a hard time not laughing. Also, I'm glad they replaced the "nosy man at the pub" with a police officer. I don't know how the cops are in Sweden, but in The United States it makes more sense and drive the plot better. Also in this film, they really emphasize that the boy is already a little cracked up and enjoys hurting others and doesn't mind becoming a serial killer, where as in the more receant version it's implied that the boy is more agreeing to be with her because he loves her, etc etc.
