Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
María Lidón (credited as Luna) was one of very few Spanish women directing genre films in the 2000s; this was her only English-language feature.
The 'Moscow underground hellgate' legend references actual urban exploration folklore about Stalin-era secret metro lines, which the film treats with complete sincerity.
