Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of queer-led cosmic horror (see: The Void, The Color Out of Space) that uses Lovecraftian dread to explore marginalized isolation—here, the horror isn't just cosmic, it's familial.
The 19-minute runtime mirrors cassette side lengths; Barton allegedly edited to match the physical limit of a C20 tape, making the medium itself a ticking clock.
