Frostbiten (English title: Frostbite) is a Swedish horror film from 2006 directed by Anders Banke. Frostbiten is Sweden’s first vampire movie (unless you consider Ingmar Bergman's Hour of the Wolf to count).
Frostbiten actually means "Frostbitten" rather than "Frostbite", its English title.
As well as the horror theme, various part also have pure humour elements, and it is considered a horror/comedy by some newspapers that rated it.
Tagline: "Dawn is just one month away"

The film takes place in a small town in northern Sweden during midwinter, making the environment perfect for vampires because there are no sun hours during the dark and cold Nordic winter days. The vampiric infection is brought to the area by the sole survivor of a Scandinavian SS unit that was attacked by a female vampire in a peasant's hut, in Ukraine, during World War Two. The infection then lies dormant until, many years later, the theft of mysterious red capsules from a local hospital and the ingestion of them by a group of teenagers at a party leads to an outbreak of delirious mayhem and bloodshed as the young party-goers are transformed into vampires.
The movie was mostly shot in Kalix in the winter of 2005, and the film opened at Gothenburg Film Festival on February 3, 2006.
No animals were harmed or maltreated during the making of this film. In fact, the live animals appearing in this film were treated better than most of the actors (and crew).
