Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Franco and Brie are married in real life; this is their first horror project together. The cave was built on a soundstage in Melbourne.
The film deliberately echoes Possession (1981) and The Brood, using relationship horror as a metaphor for losing yourself in partnership—just with more dripping tunnels.
