Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of the '70s 'hagsploitation' wave where aging Hollywood stars (Mitchell, Ray) slummed in regional horror films for quick paychecks.

Insight

The scissor motif mirrors Ingrid's fractured psyche—domestic tool turned weapon, female agency perverted into self-destruction.
