The actor, who played Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise, has praised the film for its fresh take on the vampire tale.
The 62-year-old wrote on The Huffington Post: "One thing that's scaring me in a good way is a recent Swedish horror film movie I saw called Let The Right One In.
"Just when I thought vampires had 'jumped the shark', comes this chilling and disturbing movie (based on an equally frightening novel) that had me trembling like a teenager who had just discovered Stephen King, Clive Barker and Anne Rice on the same day."
He added: "It's a complete reinvention of the vampire myth, and an extremely dark and creepy one at that. I highly recommend you find a copy of it on DVD, surrender to the subtitles and immerse yourself in a truly good scare."
Director Matt Reeves recently signed up to the Hollywood remake of Let The Right One In.
