I saw this last night at the Rome Film Festival and wasn't expecting it to be up to much but have to say that I was unpleasantly surprised. Unpleasantly 'cos it was pretty stomach-churning at times but it had great acting, a great atmosphere, and a lovely story about a bullied kid who befriends and then falls for his next door neighbour, who happens to be a barefooted but cute vampire. Everyday story basically. Remakes don't usually live up to the original (in this case I haven't even seen it) but I thought this was fantastic. It took me back to my own geeky, vampire-werewolf-ghost obsessed childhood too, which is always nice.
