Background
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The willow prop was actually carved from a tree struck by lightning, which the production designer found 'too on the nose' but kept anyway.
This joins a mini-wave of 'toxic wish fulfillment' horror alongside The Neon Demon and Fresh, where desire itself becomes the monster.
