A NEON Release

This looks spine chilling. I love when it's not straight up zombie but more complex. A few series have done this well, like the Australian show "Glitch", the French "The Returned" and it's English version.

[WaterHazard]

Hell yeah, Renate Reinsve and Anders Danielsen Lie blew me away with The Worst Person in the World. Now they are both back with a horror film based on a book by the same person who wrote Let the Right One In? Sign me up.

[RaphaelRemington]

This looks like the kind of horror film that slowly sinks into your bones and gives you the chills.

[drendelous]

Neon, thank you so much for reuniting Renate and Anders on the screen. This trailer is a gift and we are looking forward to watching the film. What a day

[rufiokiddOfficial]

I read this book YEARS ago and I'm glad that it's officially being adapted to film and they're keeping it loyal to the source material and Swedish culture. This is gonna be creepy and heartbreaking... can't wait!

[marvelfoxmorty]

very beautifully made... it taught us how to move on after our love ones die or we'll face huge consequences if we still accept them even though they are undead

[CharlesHammond-fftu]

I really like this approach. Typically Scandinavian - much more subtle and creepy rather than immediately gory (i.e. American style).

[aucklandsam]

I read this book when it came out about 15 years ago and it was excellent - not really a horror, but a heartbreaking study of love of and loss.

[jakepaulwubbard]

A brand new vision in the zombie genre. It looks amazing. Can’t wait.

[jpisme]

This is one of my favorite books and if it's anywhere near as good and faithful as Let the Right One In its going to be incredible

[biggerboatfilmquiz]

The book is utterly haunting and unsettling (especially the Elias subplot) and it looks like the film adaptation has captured that really well.

[madeleinesherer]

a lot of people talking in the comments about how this is an exciting new twist on the zombie genre, but my first thought upon seeing this trailer was, “hell yeah, another zombie movie that understands that zombie movies are almost always about grief”

[robm]

Holy Sh*t, this looks fantastic! It’s as if someone asked Ingmar Bergman to direct a zombie movie and Bergman was like, “Ok, hold my beer!”

[NatReyes]

Cool to see Renate Reinsve in another movie, especially one with a premise like this.

[magpiesneedle]

Such a great, totally ‘out there’ book. Highly recommend reading it.

[sophiaisabelle]

This seems fascinating. European cinema is at its peak these days, so there's no doubt this will definitely be worth watching.

[tallyholightguy]

This is giving me goosebumps, I remember reading the book over 10 years ago and thinking why wasn't this a movie

[BanthaPooDoo]

Awesome trailer, don’t care what language it’s in would love to see it, I smell something very fresh here and new

[fugartek]

I really love the novel "Let the right one in" by John Ajvide Lindqvist.
I love the original film adaption from Sweden and I like the remake from United States.

As far as I know there is a trilogy of novels: the first one is about vampires, the second one is about zombies (this film) and the third one is about ghosts.

I can't wait the see this movie.

[WillF]

Ooohh, the book was great. A scene involving a cabin on a lake creeped me out so much. Looking forward to seeing it on screen!
