* PostApocalypticDog: The dogs we never see on screen pose quite a thread to the surviving humans. At one point the family discovers mangled corpses of sheep, which possibly fell victim to stray dogs. We later learn that the young boy tried to make friends with one of the dogs but it bit him in the hand so he killed it.

The film takes its title from Völuspá, an ancient Norse poem which describes the time before the Ragnarök, the end of the world.

!!This film provides examples of:

* ApocalypseHow: Class 1. Humanity is in dire straits although it's never fully explained why. The audience only knows that the infrastructure has collapsed, uncontaminated water is scarce and livestock have to be burned. A nuclear disaster is likely. May be considered a Class 2.
* CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: The daughter wakes up and hides her brother's face from watching the rape scene.
* HobbesWasRight: Haneke partially declares that without rules to govern them, people begin to behave like wolves, with an amoral vagabond boy the character who is perhaps most fitting of the movie's title. That said, Haneke spends as much time showing us how faith still manifests itself as he does dissolving humanity.
* LeaveTheCameraRunning: The funeral scene drags on long after everyone has left the grave site. Also the last shot of the train ride.
* MacGuffin: The train.
* NoEnding: We never learn what happens to the survivors at the train station.
* RealityHasNoSubtitles: The Romanian family's talk is not subtitled.
* PostApocalypticDog: The dogs we never see on screen pose quite a thread to the surviving humans. At one point the family discovers mangled corpses of sheep, which possibly fell victim to stray dogs. We later learn that the young boy tried to make friends with one of the dogs but it bit him in the hand so he killed it.
* SafeZoneHopeSpot: The train symbolizes hope. The hope that the people are holding on to that someone will eventually come and they'll be rescued.
* ScavengerWorld: After the infrastructure has collapsed, people try to make the best use of what's left.
* StressVomit: Anne vomits after her husband gets shot in the beginning.
