Harry Knocks on Adam's Door, Explained：vampires at my door
A stranger at the door introduces himself as Harry, then slides from small talk into an invitation. "I saw you looking at me from the street" is both flirtation and confession, and the easy banter about an empty building makes the ask feel lighter than it is. Adam declines twice; Harry keeps the door open.
あらすじ
Late at night, a neighbour knocks on Adam's door. He introduces himself as Harry, jokes that they are the only two people in the building, and offers a drink. Adam politely declines, and Harry pushes a little further, asking whether he scares him and offering to come in anyway.

What's really going on
On the surface it is a lonely man's awkward come-on, but the scene is really about two kinds of isolation meeting. Harry does all the talking, filling the silence with jokes about alarms and empty buildings, and his invitation keeps changing shape: a drink, then company, then sex. The turning point is Adam's flat refusal — "I don't think that's a good idea." Harry immediately checks the damage with "Do I scare you?" and protects himself with "We don't have to do anything if I'm not your type." Every line is a retreat disguised as warmth. Adam's closing image, "There's vampires at my door," reframes a nervous neighbour as a threat, and it tells us more about Adam's fear of closeness than about Harry.
Theme

このシーンについての質問
Why does Harry come to Adam's door?
He says he lives in the building and saw Adam from the street. He starts with a drink and turns the visit into an offer of company, then sex.
What does Adam mean by "There's vampires at my door"?
He is describing Harry as a threat. The image turns a lonely neighbour's visit into something predatory, showing how unsafe closeness feels to Adam.
Is Harry actually dangerous?
The film doesn't show him as violent here. He reads as lonely and forward; the danger lives in Adam's imagination, and the line makes us feel that anxiety.
Why does Adam say "I don't think that's a good idea"?
Because Harry's offer to come in has become a proposition. Adam isn't hostile; he is guarded, and instead of explaining he simply shuts the invitation down.
Does Adam invite Harry in?
No. He declines the drink and the offer to come in, and the guest finally leaves. The visit ends with Adam alone and the door shut.
