Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Cleveland on a shoestring budget, most of the 'ghost effects' are in-camera double exposures that the director learned from 1940s photography books.
This 2006 indie arrived at the tail end of the post-Sixth Sense ghost thriller boom, when every festival needed its own sad dead-people movie. It didn't win.
