Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director David Allain used the short format deliberately — there's no room for redemption arcs, only impact. The compression mirrors how quickly obsession consumes.
Bonnie Wright (Mia) had just finished Harry Potter; this was her deliberate pivot to adult, messy roles. The supermarket theft scene was shot in a real Sainsbury's with hidden cameras for genuine reactions.
