Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
David Cronenberg himself gave the Soska sisters his blessing to remake his 1977 film, reportedly praising their 'understanding of body horror's political dimensions.'
The film premiered at the 2019 FrightFest the same week as the Jeffrey Epstein arrest, making its themes of powerful men exploiting young women's bodies accidentally topical.
