Let the Right One In (Tomas Alfredson, 2008)

Cast: Kåre Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson, Per Ragnar, Henrik Dahl, Karin Bergquist, Peter Carlberg, Ika Nord, Mikael Rahm, Karl-Robert Lindgren. Screenplay: John Ajvide Lindqvist, based on his novel. Cinematography: Hoyte Van Hoytema. Production design: Eva Norén. Film editing: Tomas Alfredson, Dino Jonsäter. Music: Johan Söderqvist. 

For those blog-readers getting ready to outfit little Jake or Jenny with plastic fangs and felt cape, let me remind you that the vampire legend, with its penetration and exchange of fluids, is always and invariably about sex, or the fear of it. Even when the vampire is 12 years old. Or maybe especially when the vampire is a 12-year-old girl who moves in next door to a 12-year-old boy on the cusp of adolescence. Of course, as a vampire, Eli (Lina Leandersson) is going to be 12 years old forever, and she tells Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) that she's not a girl, raising a note of ambiguity: Does she mean that she's not a girl but a vampire, or that she's transgender or even neuter? (There's a flash of nudity which suggests that she has undergone some sort of genital trauma.) No matter, for the film is really about the relationship that develops between a boy who is being tormented by bullies and a vampire/girl with the power to put an end to his tormentors. Let the Right One In is such a richly textured film that it transcends its horror-film elements, its bloodlettings and its suspense-engendering narrative. A good deal of the screenplay is devoted to giving the secondary characters lives (and deaths) of their own, including Oskar's estranged parents and the man who lives with, and serves, Eli. Even incidental details, such as Eli's odd possessions, and the ending, Oskar on a train, Eli apparently in a box beside him, are tantalizing. No surprise that the film was remade in the United States as Let Me In (Matt Reeves, 2010) and became the basis for a TV series in 2022.

CANTLON: RYAN LINDGREN PROFILE AND LATEST NEWS

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings CROMWELL, CT - It’s been a rollercoaster of a first season for Hartford Wolf Pack rookie defenseman, Ryan Lindgren. His play has earned him a passing grade for his effort, despite not going to the postseason for a second straight season A majority of Lindgren's season was spent partnered with John Gilmour as the Wolf Pack’s top defensive duo. The expectation for the remainder of the season is that there will be new combinations tried at both the forward and defensive positions.  Lindgren played with Brandon Crawley last weekend. “It was a lot of fun playing with John, and we also got along well off the ice too. I'm happy for him to get a recall. He’s a heck of a hockey player. I played most of the year with him, with the exception of a few games. He's such an easy guy to play with, just give him the puck, and he’s such a good skater, you let him fly. "Now we're all going to have to make changes and adjustments with so many new faces,” said Lindgren. Lindgren is acutely aware of what coming into a locker room at the end of a tough, and a difficult season can be like for a player. “I came here last year for the last ten games, so I know what it's like when you’re the new face and everything is new to you. It’s a very exciting time for them to start playing (pro hockey). It’s still a big time for myself and all the other players to show management what you got. We've got to make sure nobody is taking any nights off. It’s an important final ten games for everybody here.” Lindgren had one advantage last year that helped in in his transition. His former college teammate, Vinni Lettieri, who was just recalled to the Rangers, was there to greet him last spring. “I went through the same thing they did in coming from college. It's just a different lifestyle going from class and knowing all your buddies to a place where you really don’t know anyone. To go from the structure of going to classes to where you go to practice in the morning and then the rest of the day is yours, it's a lot different as the hockey is different from the college game.” The Lettieri factor was big for him. “I was very lucky to have Vinni here when I got here, of course, I knew him from playing at (University of) Minnesota, so I was able to move in with him and he’s a guy who was always on the move, on and off the ice,” Lindgren said with a laugh. “He had family come in and always had something going on. I was very lucky to just not to sit in a hotel by myself, doing things with him or cooking meals at home. I was very fortunate.” Lindgren’s game is a physical, grind-it-out style that is a throwback to the players of 10-15 years ago. At that time, having a physical rearguard would be prized, but in today’s game, defensemen are more like defensive backs in football. Their hands are tied in how to defend against the opposing forward in their own end. “When I was playing for the US at the World Juniors with coach Bob Motzko (now the head coach at the University of Minnesota). He used to say to play as close to the line as you can. To crossover is a huge thing. I like to play a physical style. I do trash talk a bit, and run my mouth,” Lindgren said with a wry smile and wink. ”But you have to be careful not to carry it too far. In general, you have to stay focused on your game, so you don’t hurt the team with bad or ill-timed penalties. So that’s the game I bring and that’s not going to change, you just have to be smart to know when the right time is.” The first year has seen Lindgren’s potential tempered with reality. It was a season of ups-and-downs for the Wolf Pack as a team and individually. He now sports an "A" with Rob O’Gara out for the past 21 games since early February with a lower-body injury. “I have been happy about it there a very good group of guys here and I got time in New York which of course very special,” said Lindgren. The Second year pro was originally drafted by Boston, whose rights were acquired in the Rick Nash deal last spring “I have learned a lot in my time here. (Pack Head Coach) Keith (McCambridge) and (Assistant Coach) Joe (Mormina) have been huge for me in getting to learn the pro game, and the call-up, of course, to the Rangers was something else. I was fairly consistent for the year and the Rangers seem happy with me,” The season, however, boils down to one bad stretch, a ten game losing streak that ran from mid-January to mid-February just after the trade of then, team captain, Cole Schneider. “We were right in contention (three points out of fourth place) and we lost ten in a row and it's hard to make that up and others were winning (Hershey Bears) and next thing you know we fell out of it (playoff contention). It’s a very tough time of the year. Everybody is playing for a playoff spot and you're not. "We let up at that time and this is where we're at. Losing Schneids was tough, but we didn’t play as well as we should have.” The Checkers with a 44-15-7-1 record (96 points) are 31 points ahead of the Wolf Pack. They clinched a playoff berth last weekend by sweeping the Pack in a pair of games. Syracuse has also clinched a playoff berth last weekend as they lead the North Division. The Pack takes on the Checkers for a third straight game on Friday night at the XL Center at 7:15 pm which will be the last meeting with the Checkers this year. “They are the league’s best team. We got a lot of new faces, so it's going to be a big test for us if we play well,” said Lindgren last weekend as they departed for North Carolina. NOTES: No week is complete without some roster moves. Greg Chase, the nephew of former Hartford Whaler, Kelly Chase, had a two-goal game for the Maine Mariners (ECHL) against the Worcester Railers including an OT winner. He was signed to a PTO by Hartford while Dean Melanson was returned to the Mariners. Former UCONN player Karl El-Mir was released by Providence from his ATO deal without having played a game. Michael Doherty (Yale) was released by the Bruins too and sent back to Manchester (ECHL). A slew of El-Mir’s Hockey East opponents have all signed pro deals this week. Boston College saw Michael Kim and Chris Brown both sign with Wilkes Barre/Scranton Penguins (AHL). Casey Fitzgerald (Buffalo-NHL/Rochester-AHL) and goalie Joseph Woll sign with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) and a report from TSN’s Bob McKenzie says that freshmen, Oliver Wahlstrom, has told BC he will turn professional and is working on a deal with the New York Islanders and may wind up with the playoff-bound Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Woll’s departure will allow Darien’s Spencer Knight (US National Development Team) and one-time Avon Old Farms product to head to BC. He will likely be a first or second round pick in this upcoming summer’s NHL Draft in Vancouver. Boston University, saw top-end defenseman, junior, Dante Fabbro sign with Nashville. Ridgefield native, Chad Krys, sign an ATO deal with Rockford (AHL). Goalie, Jake Oettinger (Texas-AHL), Bobo Carpenter (Islanders) and, a surprise freshman, Joel Farabee (Flyers) have all left. A total of 27 Hockey East players have signed pro deals so far. There has been 105 Division I players and 118 college players in total have all signed North American/European pro deals. Matthew McGroarty (Westport/Brunswick Prep) has made an oral commit to Quinnipiac University (ECACHL) in 2021-22. Congrats to the state high school hockey champions. Early in March in the NEPSAC prep school boys tournament at St. Anselm College in Manchester, Kent School won the large Division title beating Cushing Academy 2-1. Kent grads include current Rangers head coach, David Quinn, and current Ranger and ex-Wolf Pack, Boo Nieves. In the Open Division, Salisbury Prep lost in the finals to Kimball Union 4-3. Salisbury features Thomas Richter (Greenwich), the son of the Rangers all-time great goalie, who is a Union College (ECACHL) commit 2020-21. In the public school tournament held at Yale University, in Division I Fairfield Prep captured their 17th Division I title (one Division II title in their first year as a varsity program) in the fifth championship meeting between ND-West Haven. They won by the score of 5-2. Mason Whitney and Thomas Quinn had a goal and an assist apiece to pace the Jesuits win. The final four for the first time in Division I history featured all four teams from parochial schools. In Division II, the Branford Hornets shutout Glastonbury 2-0 to capture the first title as David Engstrom’s goal and assist and Jared Yakimoff’s 20 saves paced the title win. It was Branford’s first title since 1988 when they beat Shepaug Valley (Washington, CT) by the score of 5-3 and only the third championship final in the history of the program. In Division III, the co-op program Lyman Hall/Haddam-Killingworth/Coginchaug knocked off the other Wallingford school, Sheehan, in the Battle of Wallingford by the count of 6-2 for their first ever hockey title. Senior Kyle Roberts had two goals and an assist and nine shots on goal and sophomore Aidan Weir’s tallied two goals on two shots, including what became the game-winner help the Trojans victory. The University of Wisconsin won the NCAA Women’s Frozen Four this past weekend in Hamden at Quinnipiac University with a 2-0 shutout win over Minnesota for their 5th national title. Loren Gabel of Clarkson (ECACHL-W) won the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, the Hobey Baker Award for women’s hockey. The Calgary Inferno captured the CWHL (Canadian Women’s Hockey league) championship shutting out the Les Canadiennes of Montreal, 2-0 at the Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto, home of the AHL Toronto Marlies. CT Jr. Rangers forward, Jay de Ruiter, who played for the Netherlands WJC team in Division 2 Group B is playing for his home country national team at the U-18 World Championship Group B Division 2 in Belgrade, Serbia. Ex-Pack, Matt Carey, signs with Schwenniger (Germany-DEL) for next season. Four more European, Asian or Scandanavia titles have been decided. In Iceland, SA Akureyri Vikings of Northern Iceland (southern Iceland much warmer !) swept SR Rekyavik in four straight 2-0, 3-2 (OT), 3-2 and a final game at 4-1.

Thoughts : Let the Right One In (2008)

In the canon of scary monsters, few have the established lore or vast range of stories comparable to that of the vampire.  There are literally scores of vampires movies out there to be discovered, but many of them tend to follow a familiar, similar formula.  To find a take on vampires that is new and unique is a refreshing experience.  Of recent memory, one of my favorite alternative takes on the vampire narrative (that still stays true to the established rules and legends) is Let the Right One In. 

Oskar (Kare Hedebrant) is a shy 12-year old living with his mother Yvonne (Karin Bergquist) in a small, tight knit Stockholm community around the early 1980s.  Oskar often finds himself the target of bullying by Conny (Patrik Rydmark) and his group of friends, and therefore spends most of his time alone in his room or in the courtyard of his apartment complex.  Meanwhile, a pair of mysterious neighbors move in next door to Oskar : Eli (Lina Leandersson), a young girl who seems reluctant to interact with anyone around her, and Hakan (Per Ragnar), her older and extremely protective caretaker.  Upon meeting Eli, Oskar is intrigued, but Eli warns him to keep his distance... despite the warning, the two develop a strong friendship bond.  Meanwhile, members of the community begin to notice an increase in missing people, discovered bodies and gruesome crimes, all due to Hakan and his quest for blood to provide to Eli in order to keep her alive.  During one of these expeditions, Hakan is discovered, and in an effort to protect Eli, disfigures himself.  Eli visits him in the hospital, feeds off of him, and assists him in committing suicide, meaning she is now forced to survive on her own.  Due to her bond with Oskar, which has helped him find a confidence he did not know he had, she turns to him for help, changing the course of both of their lives forever.

The way this film balances its narrative threads to tie together one overarching story is brilliantly executed.  Oskar alone has 3 strong storylines that could dominate films in their own right : his love story (and coming of age) with Eli, the mysterious new neighbor; his attempts at dealing with, and eventually overcoming, the torment of his bully Conny; and, his attempts at coming to understand his family dynamic, with a mother that loves him but hovers and will not allow him to grow, and a father that is equally loving but in a relationship that Oskar is not mature enough to understand.  The town is going through its own story, with a string of violent crimes suddenly occurring in an otherwise quiet location that rock the entire dynamic of the town and its inhabitants.  And, of course, we have the story of Eli and Hakan, a vampire and her caretaker, attempting to follow the rules it takes to keep Eli alive while going undetected.

Let the Right One In, in the regard, is an extremely unique take on the vampire narrative.  To my knowledge, it does a great job of perpetuating most of the vampire mythos established in history and pop culture, including needing to be invited in, deadly reactions to sunlight, sleeping in a coffin (even if it’s a makeshift one), feeding on blood, and a violent reaction from cats.  The way that these elements are integrated into the narrative, and the way it also helps establish that feeling of paranoia that prevailed in the 1970s and 1980s when it came to the nature of crime changing, helps make the story both easy to relate to and fluid in the way it carries itself forward.  There are no wasted moments in this film, as anything that does not serve to move the narrative forward either gives us emotional information or insight into one of our leads.

Despite the winter-heavy location, there is a sense of color to this film that gives it life and hope in what would otherwise be a bleak setting.  The way that the 1980s is mixed into the production design is subtle but highly effective, giving us the sense of it being a period piece without having to broadcast so.  The look is definitely there, but it’s the feel of the times that this film does a great job in portraying.  The horror elements are measured and used wisely, especially the ones concerning Virginia, which not only show you some of the more spectacular parts of the vampire narrative that many probably wanted to see, but it makes you think about all that Eli has done to survive by comparison, adding weight to an otherwise already heavily textured world.

Kare Hedebrant gives an incredibly compelling lead performance for a young actor, managing to show how an isolated young man keeps himself sane, allowing range for love and validation, and still being vulnerable enough to show fear.  In comparison, Lina Leandersson is equally compelling, allowing a wisdom and sense of presence that would emanate from a seasoned veteran actor flow through her, and completely selling the savage side.  Per Ragnar not only is a fearful presence in the film, but the shades of love he shows for Eli make us forgive his actions in his final moments.  Peter Carlberg transitions seamlessly from the life of the party to a broken man, especially paralleled with Ika Nord’s powerful performance in her final moments.  Patrik Rydmark is wonderfully persistent and offbeat in his role as Oskar’s tormentor.  Appearances from Henrik Dahl, Karin Bergquist, Karl Robert Lindgren and Pale Olofsson also stand out.

I would definitely recommend Let the Right One In to fans of horror and vampires, but I would not limit my recommendation to just those qualities.  Outside of it’s obvious veneer, the movie holds up as an all around strong film, and while it executes those horror elements quite well and uniquely, to limit it to just that realm would be shortsighted.

Siden vi snart kommer til Patreon, tenkte jeg å presentere meg litt.

Jeg er 34 år gammel sørlending som for tiden bor på østlandet. Der bor jeg sammen med min kone og min snart 3 år gamle sønn.

Formelt er jeg utdannet faglærer i naturfag, matematikk og fysikk, og jobber til daglig som ungdomsskolelærer.

Fra jeg var liten har jeg vært glad i å høre historier, og å lage mine egne. Det gøyeste på barneskolen var da læreren leste høyt for klassen, og blant favorittene var Roald Dahl og Astrid Lindgren.

I 2014 startet jeg EventyrForAlle.no etter å ha lett forgjeves på nett etter norske versjoner av eventyrene til brødrene Grimm og H. C. Andersen. Syntes det var for galt at slike klassikere ikke var lettere tilgjengelig, og bestemte meg for å prøve å gjøre noe med det.

Ønsket for fremtiden er å kunne i større grad leve av å skrive og oversette, og EventyrForAlle er en viktig del av dette.
