About this deal

Eli is the young girl who has just moved in next door. She doesn’t go to school and never leaves the flat by day. Sensing in each other a kindred spirit, the two become devoted friends. What Oskar doesn’t know is that Eli has been a teenager for a very long time… In [Noah] Lamanna’s astute rendering, Eli is fragile and self-possessed, savvy and clueless, alluring and grotesque all at once. Initially, Oskar/Owen is a loner. One of the few friends he has is Tommy, who is a major character in the book, but is omitted from both films save one fleeting mention by Owen in Let Me In. Oskar/Owen is constantly harassed in school by a group of bullies that enjoy torturing and humiliating him, and he fantasizes of one day standing up for himself and injuring or disposing of them. As a result of these experiences, he is initially defensive when he first meets Eli/Abby. The two eventually form a close bond when she notices he is playing with a Rubik's cube, and, because of her fondness for puzzles, Eli's/Abby's interest is piqued. After a particularly bad experience with the bullies, Eli/Abby advises Oskar/Owen that he needs to stand up for himself, and offers him words of encouragement, as well as support if he needs it. In the end, Oskar joins Eli in her nomadic existence, and eventually, in the sequel short story " Let the Old Dreams Die", he allows himself to be infected with vampirism, thus joining Eli as a hunter of the night. [1]

The older brother of Jonny/Conny/Kenny and antagonist in all versions. He is shown to be more sadistic than his younger brother and just as much a bully. He shows up in the story after Oskar/Owen stands up to him. He openly treats his brother poorly but he decides to help him and his friends retaliate against Oskar/Owen. His role becomes important at the climax of the story; he sets a fire outside of the community pool and scares the students out. An extraordinary production visually and emotionally, and like all great horror stories, humanizes the supernatural as an extension of ourselves.Owen's Father (voiced by Elias Koteas) – Owen's unnamed father, who only talks to him once over the phone, questioning his wife's fervent religiosity and blaming her for their son's current problem. Elias Koteas also plays "The Policeman" in the film. Just one day before his firing, he spoke at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in San Francisco where he argued that AI will be “the greatest leap forward of any of the big technological revolutions we’ve had so far”.

I really think the world is going to rise to the occasion and everybody wants to do the right thing,” Altman said.Mr. Zoric ( Ritchie Coster) – Owen's gym teacher who assists him with getting into shape, corresponding to Mr. Ávila in the novel and original film. Oskar has a closer relationship with his mother in the novel and 2008 film than Owen does in Let Me In. In the novel and original film, Oskar's mother is caring, loving and spends time with him. In the 2010 film, Owen's mother is a neglectful Christian alcoholic and her face is never shown, which might explain why he is drawn to Abby. This is comparable to Oskar's father in the novel and original film, who is also an alcoholic and neglectful of Oskar when he visits on weekends. Owen's father is never seen in Let Me In, his voice is heard once during a conversation with Owen on the telephone, where he seems very caring and concerned about Owen living with his mother. Staffan – Tommy's mother's new boyfriend in the novel. He is a police officer who is personally involved with investigating Eli and Håkan's string of murders, and he has a strained relationship with Tommy. A beautifully conceived story of unconditional friendship that unfolds much like a sensitively choreographed ballet that is scored by mesmerizing music, a story guaranteed to touch heartstrings.
