That bond grows ever deeper as their true natures are revealed to each other. They soon form a bond over their similar shared oddities: Oskar is fascinated with grisly murders and Eli has an unnatural thirst for blood. Author John Ajvide Lindqvist adapted his own novel for the screenplay, which focused on the relationship between the shy and disturbed 12-year-old Oskar and a pale, mysterious new neighbor girl, Eli. If it’s atypical love stories, "bullied boy meets girl-next-door" romances, or straight-up bloody horror that you prefer to watch this Valentine’s Day, look no further than Tomas Alfredson’s 2008 Swedish picture, Let the Right One In.
