The stories are actually quite different. |

John Ajvide Lindqvit's "Let The Right One In" was written a year before "Twilight" (Both books about a juvenile vampire who makes friends with a regular kid). Twilight even stole a catch phrase from the Swedish novel "I've been so-many-years-old for a long time" |

yes, but the author of Twilight undeniably read the Swedish book, as its most prominent peice of dialogue was stolen from it. Not to mention that Let The Right One In has lots of silence which Twilight undeniably tried to recreate. |
|
You honestly can't claim any form of plagiarism based on "lots of silence" or a line of dialogue. |
|
no, the context of that line of dialogue was much rarer than you made it seem. Its exactly the same word for word except for the age. |
|
I'm going to see Let The Right One In tomorrow, thats my thanksgiving. |
|
Theres also a lot of influence from an old TV show called "Vampire High." Twilight is far from original. It has ripped off ideas, dialogue, names and situations from a multitude of other sources. It's ripped off parts from other stories and smashed them all together. The movie was even worse. It honestly looked and sounded like something a Comm Tech student came up with for their high school project. |

I just want to point out that that "catch phrase" is only so in the Twilight movie trailer. ..... That's it. |

I watched "let the right one in" like a week ago, most of it anyway. It was quite interesting, but it was kind of depressing in a way. |

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To lucid dream is my real test
To control them is my cause
Let The Right One In was amazing. It did get romantic, and the performances were amazing. Probably the best movie I have seen all year. |

The issue of which movie is better is completely different... I thought you were talking about how one copies the other! I don't think anyone would disagree with you in regard to which one is better... not even die-hard Twilight fans. |

I think I need to check out this Let the Right One In. It sounds pretty good. Is it in Swedish, or . . . ? |
