Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Blackeberg, Stockholm, 1982. With nothing but liberating revenge on his mind, 12-year-old Oskar, the classroom's bullied undesirable, daydreams about getting even. But he is one, and they are many. As dark thoughts command courage, Oskar has a pivotal encounter with cryptic next-door neighbour Eli, a raven-haired stranger coming as a friend. Sometimes, all people want is a little push to keep them going. However, vengeance and justice don't mix. And blood never forgets. In a quiet suburb now rife with violence and murder, has Oskar placed himself in harm's way? With conflicting emotions challenging reason, can the boy forgive and forget to let the right one in?

Did You Know?
| 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. See more » |
| 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. See more » |
