She's a he in the movie. when she's naked, you see the scarring where his penis has been lopped off. Also, when she "changes" to drink his blood on the floor, her face is that of a man, not a woman.
It's not a "vampire" movie and to rate it as how it does as a horror movie misses the point entirely. It's a "movie" movie. One that presents itself as a love story between a troubled and lonely boy and a lonely girl who happens to be a vampire. Of course, as you start peeling the layers away, it is not a beautiful story at all, but a pretty distrubring story about how an older person uses and manipulates the insecurities of a child to put him in a position to do her bidding. It's actually pretty disturbing and, well, psychotic.
I absolutely love the movie, but the horror doesn't come from vampiric things, it comes from human relationships. If she truly loved Oskar, she would have killed herself like the infected woman did in the hospital.

Um...No. It is a vampire movie. Yes it is a love/manipulation story within a vampire tale, but it is still mostly a vampire tale. Mostly.
I didn't miss the point at all.
As I said, I thought the old man was the previous Oscar. I knew she was manipulating Oscar but I think she did have affection for him too. Just not enough to off herself. Good thing or Oscar would have died in the pool.
I think they were too quick with the flash of her nether regions. If they wanted us to know she mutilated herself, I think they should either have kept the camera on her/him longer or Oscar should have asked her why she/he did it.
I didn't say I hated the movie, I just didn't love it and don't plan to watch it again.
It will be interesting to see how Hollywood does the remake. I am sure they will butcher it and make it less about the relationship. Plus they will chop it up. No way they make a two hour and twenty minute horror film.
