Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Trey Edward Shults made this for $30,000 in his parents' house, casting his actual mother, aunt, and himself. The nepotism we respect.
The film expands on Shults' 2014 short of the same name—Krisha's relapse was always the point, not the twist. The dread is the feature.
