Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tony Burgess also wrote Pontypool, another deeply Canadian horror that makes language itself the monster.
The film deliberately avoids familiar American ghost tropes, mining specifically Ontarian fears—failed industries, frozen lakes, small towns that know your secrets.
