I really enjoyed LTROI. I really hope that the violence doesn't go over the top for the American audience and just make it a gore fest. That's what I liked about the original. There's really only a couple of scenes that are truly violent. (Granted, these are blood sucking vamps who kill for blood.) Most of the violence is only hinted at or shown in a perspective where you know what's going on, but not really shown on camera. The ending scene at the pool is a great example. That's what made that movie a stand out among vampire movies for me. Just the quiet scenes of the kid making the scrap book and communicating with the vampire girl through the wall with morse code made this movie very cool. It is subtitled but there's not really a whole lot of dialog to get bogged down in. Really the characters speaking another language just added to the other-worldliness of this environment. Great flick!!
