Or possibly, you may question your sanity as to why you just spent 115 minutes of your precious time to wade through some fairly disturbing images, just to catch up on what passes for a preadolescent monster posing as an innocent, precociously wise and complex character study of a "girl gone wild."
In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?
20% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.
80% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.
0% I thought we had to shut down Free Speech we don't like to save our "democracy," so I am totally confused now.
Here Oskar, with his mother, invite Eli in: Above. The blood streaming down Eli's face is her own, and this is what happens when Eli is not invited in: Below.
After one of Eli's feeding frenzies, she scampers up to Oskar's upper floor bedroom, as beg's to be invited in. Once entering the warmth of the room, she takes off her bloody clothes, and naked, climbs into bed with the pre-adolescent boy. Unsettling ... well, Eli is nearly 200 years old and has no reproductive organs. Yes, it is weird, but what did you expect? It's a Swedish Vampire film, with English subtitles: Above.
One word of advice: the DVD that I rented immediately began playing the film in dubbed English, which nearly destroyed the flavor of it for me. I highly recommend watching the film in Swedish, with the English subtitles, if that is your native tongue. I also suggest that if you do not have an open mind, do not watch the film at all. Seeing a 12 year old child feed on another human's blood may repulse the more normal among us. For the rest of you: enjoy the film.
