Låt den rätte komma in (Let The Right One In) is a 2008 film. It is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist, who also wrote the screenplay for this film version.It's the story of Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant), a 12-year-old boy who is being bullied at school. One night, he meets Eli (Lina Leandersson), a girl who just moved in next door with her dad. However, Eli isn't affected by the cold and hates daylight, and it's quickly shown that her "dad" Haake (Per Ragnar) kills people and drains their blood to feed her. As Oskar befriends Eli and more people go missing, suspicions are raised.Let The Right One In is most notable for being simultaneously heartwarming and horrifying. Although it has few outright scares, it can be a deeply disturbing movie, as the main characters' relationship invokes both young love and a temptation into darkness.For tropes on the original book, see Let the Right One In. For tropes from the English-language remake, see Let Me In.

Bloodless Carnage: Relatively, with Gory Discretion Shots or long-range/obscured views preferred – so the horrifying slaughter is conveyed with surprisingly almost no blood to be seen, considering how much is let.

 Let the Right One In / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: In the movie, Eli is outraged when Håkan fails to bring her back blood and verbally lashes out at him. In the novel, while she still pleads with him to go out and try again, it is in a much more subdued and dispassionate manner. The book's Eli in general seems to play a more passive role in their relationship, mostly just dully reacting to Håkan's anger and increasingly perverse demands. Zigzagged with Håkan, as most of his characterization in the novel is internal and isn't apparent on-screen. Both his sexual appetite and his reluctance to commit his murders are never given any focus, making him a more willing killer but also omitting his backstory as a disgraced pedophile and his deranged sexual interest in Eli. Not to mention being Killed Off for Real at the hospital instead of coming back to hunt Eli as a monstrous revenant.

Only Sane Man: Andreas is the only member of the group of bullies tormenting Oskar that seems uncomfortable if not remorseful with what he's doing. He breaks down crying as he is forced to repeatedly whip Oskar, and is the only bully not killed in the climax, instead of sitting on the bleachers sobbing.

Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Eli's genitals are completely missing. In the novel, the vampire who bit him/her also chopped off all his/her male parts, making him/her... well, it's hard to say. It's not clear whether Eli really thinks that makes him/her female, or is just more comfortable as a girl. All this is made much clearer in the book.

Even Evil Has Standards: Oskar is thrown into the pool by Conny's Ax-Crazy older brother Jimmy. Oskar is then told that if he can't hold his breath underwater for three minutes, his eye will be gouged out. When Oskar actually starts to drown, the other bullies are clearly uncomfortable, and one of them backs out entirely.

Your Vampires Suck
 Let the Right One In / int_3e06b5c7
comment
Your Vampires Suck: Averted. There are virtually no references to any vampire tropes not used in the movie. In many ways, this helps to create a greater sense of realism. The characters are smart enough to know that what works in the movies won't work in real life, and that discussing things in terms of what movies they are or aren't like is totally pointless.

The Renfield: Eli starts out with an older 'guardian' who tries to protect her by draining blood out of victims. By the end of the movie, Oskar has possibly become this (depending on your interpretation). The follow-up short story collection Let The Old Dreams Die was written because the author didn't like this interpretation. It shows Oscar and Eli mixing their blood, making him a vampire as well.

Scenery Porn: The lingering shots of Blackeberg in the middle of winter manage to be both beautiful and gloomy at the same time. Most of the outdoor scenes were shot in Luleå in the north of Sweden, instead of Blackeberg, since during the filming of the movie, Stockholm and southern Sweden had experianced a lot of snowless winters. In recent years following the making of the film, the winters have been notoriously cold and snowy. Stockholm has been hit by blizzards so bad that all trains stopped and traffic could not move.

Gory Discretion Shot: Eli's attack on Lacke is shown mostly behind a partially closed door. The ending: Conny's brother, Jimmy, as well as the rest of the bullies, show up at the pool and start a fire to lure the teacher outside while Oskar stays in the pool. Jimmy forces Oskar into a sadistic game: stay underwater for three minutes, or he will gouge out one of his eyes. After being held underwater for about a minute, a crash through the pool's window signals that Eli has come to the rescue. We only witness the rescue underwater from Oskar's perspective, but the screaming above the water, as well as the downpour of blood and body parts tells us all we need to know.

Håkan might be the only time in movie history where you could cry for the death of a serial-killing pedophile, holding a sobbing Eli in his arms and letting her feed on him before falling out the hospital window to his death. Especially considering what he does to his face to keep Eli safe beforehand.

Not Using the "Z" Word: Eli is somewhat in denial about being a vampire, preferring to think of it as having an illness. The book does go into the biological specifics of what goes on inside a vampire's body once infected, but being infected with vampirism still unavoidably makes you a vampire.

There's more description of Eli being filthy and mangy in the novel. Håkan's acid injury in this film is far less graphic than the description we are given in the book.

Adaptation Distillation: The film distills the novel down to just the boy and the vampire, with a minor subplot about the strained relationship of an older couple, all other elements solely serving to move the A plot forward.

Moving-Away Ending: Unlike the novel, the film adaptation has this happen more obliquely, as Oskar and Eli are shown riding a train out of Stockholm a short while after the swimming pool massacre. It's less clear than in the novel that they're leaving for good because of the murders, but it's still heavily implied.

Warm Bloodbags Are Everywhere: Happens towards the middle. Eli follows Oskar to a secluded spot after she hasn't fed for a few days, and Oskar unexpectedly cuts his palm and offers to be blood brothers with her. She manages to fight the urge to eat him by lapping up the blood he was spilling, but reveals her Game Face in the process, growls, and runs away to feed off someone else.

Our Vampires Are Different: These vampires aren't actually undead - at least in the film, it's made clear you have to survive the attack to turn into a vampire. Killing your victim is the nicer option. To be specific, along with the common death-by-sunlight, paleness, and blood-drinking attributes, these vampires cannot enter a house without getting permission, occasionally have cat-like eyes that glow in the dark, and can "think" claws on their hands and feet, and wings and fangs.

Alas, Poor Villain: Håkan might be the only time in movie history where you could cry for the death of a serial-killing pedophile, holding a sobbing Eli in his arms and letting her feed on him before falling out the hospital window to his death. Especially considering what he does to his face to keep Eli safe beforehand. While Jimmy definitely deserved his fate, Conny and Martin were visibly having second thoughts about drowning Oskar and wanted to leave, but Eli brutally kills them anyway.

Protagonist-Centred Morality: We're clearly meant to root for Eli and Oskar, despite the fact that the former spends the movie murdering perfectly innocent people, and the latter is perfectly okay with her doing so because she's nice to him and saved him from his bullies (by violently murdering them).

 Let the Right One In / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Lacke tries to kill Eli with a kitchen knife... that he drops before she even wakes up. Or how about turning his back on a vampire without finishing the job? In the book it is stated that he couldn't bring himself to kill a child. Here he is just startled by Oskar. Håkan does not seem so concerned with at least trying to cover his tracks by hiding the corpses of his victims or taking any other precaution, culminating in attempting to kill a boy in a gym and trying to bleed him in the changing room, without even making sure that no one else is around. Needless to say, he gets caught mere minutes later.

Zigzagged with Håkan, as most of his characterization in the novel is internal and isn't apparent on-screen. Both his sexual appetite and his reluctance to commit his murders are never given any focus, making him a more willing killer but also omitting his backstory as a disgraced pedophile and his deranged sexual interest in Eli. Not to mention being Killed Off for Real at the hospital instead of coming back to hunt Eli as a monstrous revenant.

Window Love

comment
Window Love: Lots of this. When we first meet Oskar, and again after Eli leaves, he presses his hand against his window, perhaps an expression of his isolation and longing for connection. When Eli watches Oskar through the window as he does his after-school session in the swimming pool, she presses her hand against the window for the same reason; in this scene she's also, says Word of God, trying to look like a normal kid by wearing heavy winter clothes although she doesn't feel the cold. Finally, when Oskar comes over to Eli's apartment and asks if she's a vampire, she backs away from him behind a glass-paned door and they press their hands together on opposite sides of the pane, she moving her bare hands around, first one and then the other, and he following with his gloved hands. Right after this, she opens the door to let him through. Also, when Eli comes to Håkan's hospital room and is sitting outside on the window ledge unable to come in she presses her hand to the window.

Word of God is that the father wasn't gay and that Oskar's discomfort had to do with the father neglecting him so he could get drunk with his friend. To say nothing of Oskar himself, who, when Eli tells him she's not a girl, merely shrugs it off. In a sense, she/he's right. In the book, Eli being a male is initially harder for him to accept than being a vampire and it makes him question his sexuality as a result.

Hate Sink: Conny and his older brother Jimmy lack their redeeming qualities from the original novel. Conny relentlessly bullies Oskar in violently humiliating ways, before threatening to drown him in a frozen pond. Jimmy is an even bigger sadist than his brother, and seen bullying him too. When Oskar stands up for himself, they later gang up on him in retaliation. Jimmy makes a "bet" with him about holding his breath underwater for three minutes, and either getting his cheek cut open, or his eye cut out.

Dark Secret: The audience knows that Eli is a vampire the entire time; Oskar finds out eventually. Stemming from this, Eli tries to hide the more gruesome aspects of her affliction from her new friend (such as what happens when she enters a house without permission, and what she does while sleeping/recuperating in the bathroom), but Oskar deals with each in turn. She also hides her true gender for a while, but this is more because Eli isn't sure whether Oskar will still like her if he knows.
