let the right one in?


let the right one in.
is a movie adaptation of Let Me In, is a 2004 vampire fiction novel by Swedish writer John Ajvide Lindqvist.

 the story is about a special friendship formed between a 12-year-old boy, Oskar, and a vampire little girl named Eli. It took place in Blackberg, a working class suburb of Stockholm, in the early 1980s.

the movie was dubbed in english but you will know that it's not really an english. it was a lengthy movie but i was not bored at all because it was eccentric. Oskar, a 12yo kid who seemed to have fascination with crime and forensics and owns a scrap book filled with newspaper clippings about murders. Oskar often gets bullied in school because he's not your average 12 year old who hangs around with boys his age. eli, the pale looking girl made friends with Oskar. he learned in the long run that Eli is a vampire although he never treated her differently. Oskar saved Eli's life because someone attempted to kill her. Eli did the same and saved Oskar from the bunch of bullies by beheading them. what's with the movie title by the way? trivia: according to folklores, a vampire cannot enter a house unless invited. and that explains why Eli bled until Oskar finally said 'come in.'
