Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 13-minute runtime mirrors classic horror shorts like 'Lights Out,' using compression to heighten absurdity — there's no time for logic, only escalating panic.
Director Paul Winters reportedly built Phyllis as a hybrid puppet-CGI creation specifically to capture 'unpredictable twitch energy' that pure effects couldn't achieve.
