Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Barbara Crampton, who plays the Reverend Mother, was a horror icon in the 80s—perfect meta-casting for a film about past selves.

Insight

The film was shot in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and Clark specifically wanted that specific brand of suburban limbo that only certain American cities achieve.
