Frostbitten

The narrative shifts between a 1944 Ukraine battlefield and modern Lappland during the polar night. The war’s trauma anchors the vampiric origins while contemporary Sweden centers on science, family, and survival under darkness. As dawn remains distant, the characters confront a spreading curse that crosses time and space.

During WWII, a remnant of the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking hides in a cabin in war-torn Ukraine, pursued by the Red Army. In present-day Sweden, the action shifts to a remote Lappland town under a relentless polar night. The cabin and surrounding forest become a claustrophobic stage where hidden dangers awaken in the darkness.

🧬 Genetic Ethics

Beckert’s hidden experiments rely on vampire blood capsules and attempts to create human-vampire hybrids, blurring lines between cure and contagion. The pills enable unchecked spread of vampirism, forcing ordinary people into monsters. Annika’s medical perspective collides with Beckert’s obsession, highlighting the moral costs of radical science. The film questions whether progress justifies dehumanization and danger.

🩸 Vampire Myth

Vampirism drives the plot, transforming characters and reshaping relationships. The creature’s hunger creates mistrust, panic, and chaos at the party and in the hospital. The film toys with traditional myths by integrating science and a cold, icy setting that intensifies the horror.

🥶 Night Survival

The polar night and the remote environment force characters to rely on endurance and quick thinking. The war's aftermath and the vampiric threat push Annika and Saga to protect each other and fight for daylight. Dawn remains a distant horizon, serving as a constant motivator for resistance and hope. Survival here is as much about willpower as about fending off monsters.
