Let The Right One In
Best film of 2008
Quarantine
This is just plain fun and kind of freaky.

I agree, Let the Right One In was my favorite film of 2008. The film made dozens of top ten/critic's lists. Unfortunately, the just-released U.S. DVD features a new Americanized translation, different from what played in theaters. The company that released the DVD has responded to heavy protest and is releasing the original English subtitles. The "new" version added sex jokes, etc. Still, a full U.S. remake is coming from the director of Cloverfield. Let the Right One In is one of the greatest vampire films. It starts out somewhat dry, but let it work it's dark magic.
Quarantine is a near shot-for-shot remake (right down to set design) of the 2008 Spanish horror film [REC], which is short for "record." [REC] 2 is coming. Sony is finally releasing [REC] on DVD later this year. It's a tighter film than the U.S. remake, which is 15 minutes longer than the Spanish version, which is a gripping 75 minutes.
