Thematically, the film focuses on the pains of being an outcast while your body changes. Vampirism becomes a metaphor for the pains of puberty and the debilitating effect it can have on a child’s body. Eli’s relationship with a man who commits murders to feed her bloodlust also reflects the trauma of dealing with parental figures who fail at their duties.The relationship she develops with Oskar comes with all the awkwardness, insecurity and murder that can be expected from young love.
Scratching my head over that last line! :D
