    Storyline

    Edit

    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.

    10/10
    This film is the best vampire film in my life during 25 years in cinema world.
    I saw it in Bangkok International Film Festival 2008 and love this movie very much.

    It has something big and stunning about this lovely storyline to rivet my attention from the beginning to the end. Moreover, the cinematography and atmosphere in this film are undeniably superb. The chemistry between two preteen protagonists is outstanding and very believable. Everything in this film is well-made in synchronization.

    This is the first film related to a vampire that I think is least connected to Vampire's teeth baring at audience all the times, like other familiar horror we used to see. Other than some gory scenes in this film, we can yet see some flesh and blood moment of humane Vampire. And that is truly written to the core plot.

    The last scene at swimming pool is totally mesmerizing and mind-blowing.

    By the way, if Sweden submits this movie to be in competition with other nominees around the world for Oscar foreign-language film category this year, this masterpiece should win or at least be short-listed for the final fives.
