Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The entire film was shot in a single location over 18 days, with the cast staying on-site to build genuine cabin fever.

Insight

The screenplay deliberately never confirms which scenes are 'real,' mirroring how unreliable narrators in literary fiction operate—Law wanted audiences to distrust the frame itself.
