Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The game fans HATED this. The movie ditched the game's dark humor and internal monologue for pure brooding, which somehow made it less memorable.
The 'valkyrie' drug name comes from Norse mythology — the winged creatures who choose who dies in battle, which mirrors how the drug 'chooses' its victims through hallucinations.
