Director Ruben Östlund acquired inspiration for some scenes in the screenplay from real footage on YouTube. For example, the avalanche which serves as a momentum early in the story was inspired by a video Östlund found on YouTube, and a performance by a 12-year-old accordionist of Vivaldi's "Summer" was taken directly from a YouTube clip and played repeatedly throughout the film.

One of the last scenes in which a bus gets stranded on a steep hill is a near-identical re-enactment of an Internet video known as "Idiot Spanish busdriver almost kills students".

The family occupies room 413 in the lodge, possibly symbolic of the split in the family that occurs post-avalanche.

Fanny: There's nothing in your head that you haven't said!
