Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in a real Toronto family home over two freezing nights. The kitchen door was built specifically to not match the house's actual doors—Seltzer wanted audiences to feel the wrongness immediately.
Beatty and Ablack improvised their final scene after Seltzer threw out the scripted dialogue. The silence was always the point.
