Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Dallas on a shoestring budget, the apartment building was a real historic property reportedly cursed by production crew superstition.
The film's marketing buried its grief-drama elements to chase Paranormal Activity dollars; audiences expecting pure horror rejected its emotional earnestness, tanking its reputation unfairly.
