Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed entirely in the Catskills on a micro-budget; the director's family property became Ann's camp. Walters learned actual survival skills for the role.
Released during the 2016 'elevated horror' boom but overshadowed by The Witch and It Comes At Night—unfairly, since its gendered take on survival isolation remains distinctive.
