Let the Right One In | comment |
Låt den rätte komma in (Let The Right One In) is a 2004 horror novel by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist. It's the story of Oskar, a 12-year-old boy who is being bullied at school. One night, he meets Eli, a girl who just moved in next door with her dad. However, Eli isn't affected by the cold and weirdly isn't sighted in the daytime. Meanwhile said "dad" Håkan is revealed to be out murdering people to drain their blood for some reason. As Oskar befriends Eli, the truth starts to come out. It's a love story mixed into a horror story with plenty of blood to flow from there.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 novel, as the main characters' relationship invokes both young love and a temptation into darkness.For tropes on the Swedish film, see Let the Right One In. For tropes from the English-language remake, see Let Me In. | |

Trapped in Villainy: Eli. He kills because he has to; he'll die if he doesn't. He makes no excuses for what he does beyond its necessity for her continued existence. Most vampires take their own lives rather than continue to kill, but Eli was turned so young that her survival instinct and willpower overrides her conscience. | |

Zigzagged with Håkan. He's a Reluctant Monster who hates what he brings himself to do, but does it nonetheless. His major Pet the Dog moment — calling off sex with a child prostitute and giving him an excessive amount of money — is of course downplayed by the fact that he put himself in that situation to begin with. | |

Unsettling Gender-Reveal | |
Let the Right One In / int_2d409194 | comment |
Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Eli's genitals are completely missing. 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, is more comfortable presenting as a girl or likes things that tend to make others assume him to be a girl. Internally Eli did tell Oskar that he wasn't a girl a few times while every time taking clothes to wear having chosen items like dresses and panties. Clearly though to people who have only seen the films there is a lot more to this is in the book even if not neatly explained from Eli's point of view. | |

Fourth-Date Marriage: Kind of. Oskar and Eli have multiple short encounters talking to one another before the heavy vampire stuff comes out and some of them aren't fully on page. The way it is presented it will invoke this trope though. True, they're twelve, but they are meant to be soul mates. | |

Teens Are Monsters: Tommy is a strange case. While he spends his free time getting high off glue, stealing stuff, chewing tobacco, and reading porn, he does treat Oskar nicely, as opposed to the bullies. He even tells Oskar to stay away from porn. But tobacco's okay, for some reason. The story's set in The '80s, and in those days tobacco may have had less of a bad reputation—more so given it's chewing tobacco, which still doesn't carry the same stigma as cigarette smoking. | |

The Renfield | |
Let the Right One In / int_3fb4b1cb | comment |
The Renfield: Eli starts out with an older 'guardian' who tries to protect her by draining blood out of victims. However we have a different take of a Renfield's motivation. Hakan here is an outed pedophile who Eli convinced to become his/her Renfield. Hakan is of course delighted at the body of an unchanging child. But this feeling is far from mutual as while internally Hakan regards Eli as his "beloved", Eli's discussions with him are much less emotional and by contrast are far less involved than the conversations she/he has with Oskar who she/he regards as an actual love interest. | |

Let the Right One In / int_463da046 | comment |
Ambiguous Gender Identity: Played for Drama. Eli presents as a girl, but it's made clear that he himself isn't sure what to identify as. His situation is a very unique one, having been castrated as a child and then Not Allowed to Grow Up, meaning he never got to experience puberty. When questioned, he describes himself as "Not a child. Not a boy. Not a girl. Nothing." | |

Disproportionate Retribution: There is a sliding scale of this throughout the bullying plot. Jonny regularly torments Oskar. When Jonny wanted to throw Oskar into an ice hole, Oskar hits him with a stick that splits his ear. At first Jonny backs off for a while, until he and his friend try to nearly throw Oskar into a path on an oncoming train. Oskar returns the favor by going to the school after dark and sets both of their desks on fire. Because Jonny kept one of the only items he and his brother had of their father in that desk, the two decide to possibly drown him. | |

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. | |

Our Zombies Are Different: They are referred to as "undead", and become as such by being bitten and completely drained of blood by a vampire. Upon reanimation, they retain some sort of instinct from their past life, although for the most part, they are little more than mindless, rotting monsters, albeit ones that are difficult to kill. Assuming though the sunlight part would still do the trick as during the manhunt for him he seemingly hid it out underground in a badger den. | |

The bullies do horrible things such as threaten to throw him on railway tracks (in plain view of the public!) and drown him, and Tommy is a glue sniffing, shop lifting, porn magazine reader. Then we have the scene in the public library with a teen bringing in a younger child who has had his teeth knocked out for certain tasks. | |

"Not So Different" Remark: Eli and Oskar have a conversation over this. Eli reminds Oskar the very first thing he/she heard say was Oskar rehearsing potentially murdering his bullies. Oskar defends by saying he actually isn't a murderer but Eli has him admit he would if he could in order to get even. Eli however sees it as he/she has to murder to survive as he/she wants to live. He/she asks him to "be me a little" in a both literal and metaphorical moment where Eli shows him memories of how this started. In the end both clearly get on the same page to be a couple. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
Let the Right One In / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: Most glaringly, vampires develop a second "brain" around their heart, a parasitic entity driving bloodthirst and granting awareness of the vampire's abilities and weaknesses. They must be invited in to a dwelling or else. They can "think" change into their bodies: Fangs, claws, and wings. They exhibit various degrees of telepathy via eye contact and skin contact; a kiss allows full-blown Psychometry. Agelessness is maintained through periods of hibernation, which last for months and reverses any growth that might have occurred. Finally, there's a touch of The Fair Folk in an obsession with puzzles (Eli's only possessions is a collection of puzzles and brain-teasers). | |

Let the Right One In / int_a0a005d1 | comment |
Protagonist Journey to Villain: The story is one for Oskar, possibly. He's obsessed with serial killers, thinks about hurting or even killing his bullies, has no problem with it when Eli does kill the bullies, and, as implied in Let the Old Dreams Die, twenty years later, as a pair of 12-year old vampires, Oskar and Eli have no issue with hunting innocent families. | |

Eye Scream: Oskar is faced with this possibility as one of the outcomes of the example of Sadistic Choice below. Eli at the end of the novel stabs Håkan (which at that point is a zombie) in his remaining eye with a broom handle. | |

Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Or rather Couldn't Hurt a Child. Lacke wanted to kill Eli after she killed his best friend Jocke and caused his girlfriend Virginia's death, but when poised to actually kill her with a knife while she slept, he couldn't bring himself to use it on someone who at least looked so much like a child. | |

But because he's absent from Jonny and Jimmy's stint at the swimming pool at the climax, he escapes death at Eli's hands. Eli and Oskar both escape without complication to make a new life together. | |

Lost in Translation | |
Let the Right One In / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: A mild sort. In the original Swedish text, scenes from Eli's and Håkan's perspective avoid any gender pronouns when describing Eli until The Reveal that she is in fact a boy. In the English translation, Eli is referred to as "she". The fact that the name "Eli" is used for a girl makes a lot of sense in Scandinavia as it's very uncommon, sounds very feminine in its Swedish pronunciation and has connotations to names like Elisabeth and Elin. To most of the world, though, the name is predominantly male. This makes the revelations that it is short for Elias less of a turnaround in most translations, as Eli was already using a masculine-sounding name. The title has an untranslatable hint; The word "rätte" (meaning right) is masculine. The feminine form would be "rätta". The feminine is the default and as such far more common, so there's no way the word would be masculine unless it specifically referred to a dude. | |

Must Be Invited: It's in the title. As Eli demonstrates in response to Oskar's query, if they don't get one... things get pretty messy. Also in this story it is an invitation for each entrance. When Eli doesn't come in the front door Oskar asks why because he already gave Eli permission to enter through his window. This being a separate entrance Eli needs another invitation. | |

Sadistic Choice: The climax involves a sadistic contest of Oskar being held underwater; if he can spend 5 minutes below the surface he just gets a cut on his cheek but if he can't spend 5 minutes below the surface, he gets his eye gouged out. Mind you he is also being held down by a bigger teen's hand which could also drown him instead. Also in the end averted with another sadistic ending, Oskar's vampire lover comes to even the score. | |

Deader than Dead: Håkan survives quite a bit before finally dying. He pours hydrochloric acid over his face, later tries to pull out his air tube, has some of his blood drained by Eli, falls out a window from a few stories up and lands rather... messily. When he finally does get killed pulpified, he's still twitching a little after over 270 hits with the base from a trophy. | |

You Are What You Hate: Håkan is a physically unattractive man who laments the loss of beauty in the world. At one point, while stalking a swimming pool for potential victims, he observes two men in the changing rooms with derision and contempt, seeing them as examples of ugliness, but the descriptions he gives them also apply to himself almost verbatim. His ultimate fate takes this up to eleven. | |

Queer Romance | |
Let the Right One In / int_bd50e676 | comment |
Queer Romance: While Eli's exact self-understanding is not clear as read about below, one could consider Eli/Oskar's relationship to be one. Oksar in fact has a moment to stop rethink his own sexuality over Eli's reveal given that one of the insults his bullies have thrown at him over the years is "fag". Although in the end it seems he is fine getting past both the boy part and the vampire part. Håkan on the other hand is a little more complicated. He clearly wants there to be a thing between him and Eli but Eli isn't very reciprocating. However while we may focus a lot of Håkan's status as a pedophile as far as his sexual orientation in general is, he is pretty clearly a male interested in other males. So inside his own head he'd consider himself an example of this trope. | |

Viral Transformation: Vampirism is transmitted through the bite, and though it gives the person a Horror Hunger for blood it doesn't make them fundamentally evil. That said, it's bad enough most people are driven to suicide shortly after turning for fear of turning into murderers. Then there's what happens if they are completely drained but not fully killed which makes you more zombie than vampire. | |

Creepy Child: Eli consistently through the book. Oskar was pretty damn creepy all the way through, and got less creepy as the plot progressed (he lost his obsession with serial killers for one thing, and stopped pissing himself). | |

Tears of Blood: When Eli isn't invited into Oskar's place but enters anyway, blood begins pouring out of her head and orifices, including her eyes. | |

Dark Secret | |
Let the Right One In / int_f909b16b | comment |
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 his affliction from his new friend (such as what happens when he enters a house without permission, and what he does while sleeping/recuperating in the bathroom), but Oskar deals with each in turn. He also hides his true gender for a while, but this is more because Eli isn't sure whether Oskar will still like him if he knows. | |

Lesbian Vampire | |
Let the Right One In / int_f909b185 | comment |
Lesbian Vampire: A strange Gender Flipped/inverted example: Eli was born a boy and has an interest in another boy. However because his "change" wasn't on his own choosing Eli may place themselves anywhere from a transgender vampire to non-conforming body mod vampire. | |

I Do Not Drink Wine: Eli declines when Oskar offers some candy, and when Oskar asks, "Don't you eat candy?" answers, "I can't." | |

The Dog Bites Back | |
Let the Right One In / int_fb3576b2 | comment |
The Dog Bites Back: Oskar. When he's introduced, he's suffering from bullying, and Eli encourages him to stand up for himself which leads to him taking weight-training classes and ultimately smacking one of the bullies with a stick and splitting their ear. | |

Pet the Dog | |
Let the Right One In / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Frequently back and forth between Eli and Oskar. Considering what he is, the bond between them is genuinely touching as each grows to care about the other. Tommy isn't a bad guy, but he is a burglar, fence and drug addict who runs with a tough crowd. Despite that, he's remarkably kind and gentle towards Oskar, even looking out for him to an extent. | |

Death Seeker: Virginia is turned into this after being bitten by Eli, telling Lacke that she wants to die, and telling him to open the blinds, in order to make her burst into flames. When he won't do it. She gets a nurse to. | |
