Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeveral 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.
Hollywood, of course, didn't waste time and already announced an upcoming remake for those who are too lazy to read subtitles. Most likely, the remake will turn out to be PG-13 in order to make more money, and be filled with moral values so the prudish parents will let their kids watch the movie (don't they know "The Little Vampire" was made years ago?). Ignore the future bomb and enjoy the original - you're in for a treat! 10/10.
