    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Several tricks were used to create the right sound effects for some of the gorier scenes. Biting into sausages was used to replicate biting into skin and flesh, and drinking yogurt was used to sound like drinking blood. The sound of the children blinking was made by the skin of grapes rubbing together in an almost "blinking" motion.
    • Goofs
      (at around 16 mins) As Oskar is looking in his clip book with old newspaper articles, a serial number used by the Swedish police is visible. That number ends with 95, which means that crime was committed in 1995. The movie, however, is set in 1982.
    • Quotes

      Oskar: Eli... Can you and I be together?

      Eli: What do you mean?

      Oskar: Well... Will you be my girlfriend?

      Eli: Oskar... I'm not a girl.

      Oskar: You're not?

      [pause]

      Oskar: Can we be together?

      Eli: Can't we just be how we are?

      Oskar: I guess...

      Eli: Do you do something special if you're "together"?

      Oskar: No.

      Eli: We stay just as we were?

      Oskar: Yes.

      Eli: Then I agree...

      Oskar: What?

      Eli: We can be "together".

      Oskar: Really?

      Eli: [Whispers] Yes.

      Oskar: Good.

    8/10
    In the Bleak Midwinter
    A laconic Scandinavian cross between 'Martin' and 'Jeremy' with the twist that the girl next door with big sad eyes is a vampire and the novelty that it takes place in a blue collar estate in eighties Stockholm (complete with the crunch of snow underfoot) rather than nineteenth century Transylvania.
