    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Anders Ohlin (Pelle 'Dead' Ohlin)'s brother was very supportive of the movie and one of the pairs of jeans that Jack Kilmer's character wears is a pair that belonged to Pelle. All of the other clothes were designed from scratch but those particular jeans were legitimate.
    • Goofs
      When Varg leaves the video store on 10 August 1993 with a copy of Die Hard 2 (1990), the video cases for several films that would not be released until several years later can be seen in the window, including The Bone Collector (1999) and Analyze That (2002).
    • Quotes

      Euronymous: [standing over Dead with a shotgun] You know, there's a way out if you're so fucking depressed. One shot to the head and it's all over. No more pain.

    • Alternate versions
      The US theatrical and DVD releases were cut for an R rating, toning down the gory violence of Dead's suicide, Faust's stabbing and Euronymous' murder. The unrated 'directors cut' version is only available on Blu-ray in the US. It runs for 118 minutes instead of 116 as per the R-rated version.

    Bloody horrific!!

    Some really disturbing scenes in this piece, based loosely on the tragedy. Not for the faint hearted, some good acting and very lifelike gore. Not a bad film by any means!
