It is based on the novel Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness! (Körkarlen; 1912), by Nobel prize-winning Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf.The story retells an old Swedish folk tale that states the last man to die just before the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve is doomed to drive the Phantom Carriage for the following year collecting all of the spirits of the dead. When David Holm proves to be that man, he learns of the selfish life he has led and how it has impacted the people around him.The movie has been remade twice; a French version in 1939 and another Swedish version in 1958.

Axe Before Entering: David breaks down a door with an axe to get at his cowering family. Notably, the scene was homaged almost frame-by-frame by Stanley Kubrick for The Shining.

Cross-Cultural Kerfluffle: The The End title card reads "Slut". (It means "End" in Swedish.) For English-speaking viewers, this can definitely cause some Mood Whiplash after the serious tone of the ending.

Bargain with Heaven: Sister Edit begs Death not to take her before she's had a chance to see that David has changed. The second she sees him truly repentant, she dies, and Georges implies that the angels will be along to fetch her as soon as they leave.
