I realize every one else on the forum probably saw this years ago, but i finally got round to giving it a go last night.

What a great little masterpiece it is. A haunting lullaby to all love that can never be. This Swedish film is mesmerizing from the start. Its sheer beauty interrupted by scenes of punishing horror. The snowy landscapes of urban Sweden are portrayed as a green lit canvas in which the drama plays out. And what drama? its mainly young cast are as one superb, totally believable from the off, in a story that whilst languid is utterly compelling.

Highly recommended.

I need to watch this again as it did nothing for me on first viewing.

I believe the European touch is what makes people to hate it

I think it's more the fact that it resurrects a character for the pursuit of a sequel that's undeserving and just doesn't add to the franchise in any significant way. And the alien at the end looks like a wet condom

Rik our lawyers will be in touch... Did anyone think the second AVP film was a tad dark... I watched in on TV and it was hard to follow - every scene seemed buried in inky darkness...

Much of the film is the two kids sat around talking outside their apartment block, but it seemed so natural. It won me over straight away.

On another day maybe i might not have enjoyed it as much.

**Spoiler alert**

The trans-gender elements, which are obvious in the source book, and very subtle in the original film, are totally missing from the re-make

I'm the same, apart from AvP, a film which only appears good when you look at the sequel!
