Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Astron-6 crew made this as a deliberate homage to Italian giallo while working in Winnipeg, which explains why the 'Italian' locations look suspiciously Canadian.
Paz de la Huerta's performance as Josephine is deliberately stilted, mimicking the awkward dubbing of Italian films exported to English markets — a layered joke most viewers miss entirely.
