So who makes better movies:

Swedes or Americans?

I just finished watching "Let the Right One In", which was a bit slow, but had some excellent scenes of vampire slaughter. It was moody and subtitled, two aspects that would normally cause me to turn it off within 10 minutes. I don't do well with subtitles because it requires me to pay attention and not read or play a computer game during the movie.

Next up is "Let Me In", which is the American version.

In one scene, the kid is being held underwater in a swimming pool by bullies trying to drown him. Then you see a severed head and other bully body parts floating down.

I love happy endings

Technically this one should go to the Swedes. The subtlety and bleakness makes their version more unsettling. However, I am an American with an American's love of in your face gore, no imagination required, so I'm going to call it a tie. But the pool scene belongs to the Swedish version, no contest.
