Oh actually if you mean the American remake, then yeah it's a little vampire girl.
*Spoiler Alert* in the Swedish original film, it's hinted at that it's not a little girl, but a boy who was castrated.
The novel it is based on explicitly states that the girl is in fact a castrated boy who looks like a girl, but the Swedish film is a bit more subtle about it, whilst the American film didn't even touch upon the subject. If you haven't read the novel, I recommend it. I enjoyed it. There's a whole lot more detail, and Håkan, Eli's 'caretaker' (and paedophile) is a lot more terrifying (He doesn't just die...).
I was just being pedantic when I said "aint no little girl" because of the gender ambiguity in the Swedish film :P
Oh well I will do that. I have yet to watch the Swedish film. I just thought it was interesting and cute in the American version. Since bullying is sad. I will look up the book. The Op put the Swedish version so I just clicked that.
What's your favorite vampire movie?
