Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Neil Marshall and Charlotte Kirk are partners in real life—this is their third collaboration after 'The Reckoning' and 'The Lair,' making this essentially their twisted date night.
The film explicitly references 1970s Italian giallo cinema—particularly Argento's 'Deep Red'—with its black-gloved killer, garish lighting, and baroque murder setpieces. The Malta setting even echoes how giallo directors used exotic European locations as stylish slaughterhouses.
