Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shane Abbess made this for under $5 million after Hollywood passed on his bigger-budget scripts, proving Australia could do grimy space horror on the cheap.
The film's 'slipstreaming' concept was inspired by Abbess wanting to explore PTSD through literal temporal fragmentation—every jump scars the characters physically and mentally.
