Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Brahms doll was modeled after a real porcelain doll from the 1800s, chosen specifically for its dead-eyed stare that even creeped out the crew between takes.
The film subtly mirrors 'The Turn of the Screw'—the isolated nanny, the possibly haunted child, the unreliable perception of reality—before yeeting into slasher territory for the finale.
