Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired on Syfy as part of their infamous 'original movie' slate, notorious for creature features with titles better than their budgets. Maika Monroe filmed this right before her breakout in The Guest and It Follows.
The 'flying monkey' concept technically nods to Wizard of Oz, but this film invents its own shapeshifter mythology involving Chinese demon lore that absolutely no one asked for. The Kansas setting is either clever irony or lazy default.
