Drama with bite.

Most vampire movies verbeißen in clichés and shock effects. The Swedish horror film "So dark the night" is an excellent exception - and offers intelligent horror of the gentle art
  Vampires are hard totzukriegen, and similar considerations are vampire movies: Although no one for it, appears occasionally on a. Sometimes even a copy of which is something good. "So dark the night" by Swedish director Tomas Alfredson, which starts today in the cinema, is on closer examination, however, no pure bloodsucker history, but a deeply melancholic film about the friendship between two young outsiders in the Stockholm suburb, in the early eighties.

For the shy twelve-year-old Oskar (KÃ¥re Hedebrant) is the lonely girl new neighbor Eli (Lina Leandersson) is the only person who is honest affection entgegenbringt him. The school is Oskar von terrorized his classmates, his mother is too stressed out to the right to employ him, and when he visited his father, is also interested only so long until someone a bottle of vodka aufmacht.
Eli on the other hand, it only at night outside in the snow in front of the house meets, it is very different. You hear him, take him seriously, it is true. But Eli is already very long twelve years old, and sometimes, when they extended period of time has not eaten, then it smells strange. She needs blood, but they do not like to kill, since it usually human, fatherly fellow HÃ¥kan for them, but if it no other way, it knows no pity, just hungry.
That may be wasted or even sounds funny, but "So dark the night" is a bitter serious matter. Vampires are here not as a winking parody of itself to understand that they are lonely lethal fighters to deal with their broken existence just to come as the human losers around her.
YOUR OPINION IS GEFRAGTDiskutieren about this item
The tenderly told love story between Oskar and Eli is played out against the backdrop of prospects from suburban, interspersed by moments of naked violence.
When Oskar discovers that Eli is no human being and is nourished by blood, it turns out to be a good defender. But hope for the two can only be achieved if they destroy their opponents, in consequence of all, ruthless and cold.
So "So dark the night" after the novel by John Lindqvist Ajvide tenderness at all a ferocious, sometimes bad movie has become. A horror movie with a big, broken heart.
