Winter of the Dead (Finnish: Kuolleiden talvi) is a Finnish 2005 short film written and directed by Markus Heiskanen. It tells story about a few survivors in Finland devastated by nuclear winter, where a zombie apocalypse has begun.
The film was the largest project of the indie film team Vesuri Productions to date, and the first in which the team had a storyboard artist and lighting equipment at their disposal.[1] Planning for the film began as early as September 2004, with shooting starting in February 2005.[2] The film premiered in May of the same year. Winter of the Dead has been awarded as the winner of Kamera magazine's film competition,[2] and it received mostly good feedback by critics. The film was also considered for 3rd place in the youth category of the 2005 SM Film Festival.[3]
The film has been released on DVD.[4]
