Set in 1982 in the suburb of Blackeberg, Stockholm, twelve-year-old Oskar is a lonely outsider, bullied at school by his classmates; at home, Oskar dreams of revenge against a trio of bullies. He befriends his twelve-year-old, next-door neighbor Eli, who only appears at night in the snow-covered playground outside their building.
"So finster die Nacht" ist ein wunderbar ruhiger Gruselfilm, der die Sexualmetaphern des Vampirmythos' umdeutet, zu einer Geschichte, die an der Schwelle zwischen Kindheit und Pubertät spielt. Wenn Eli der Blutdurst überkommt, verleihen ihr die Macher mit Computereffekten das Gesicht einer erwachsenen Frau, die unschuldige Erscheinung kontrastieren bemerkenswert rohe Gewaltausbrüche.
