Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Neil Marshall wanted an R-rated horror film; Lionsgate wanted franchise starter. The reshoots and editing room battles are legendary—Harbour later said the final cut wasn't what they shot.
The Baba Yaga sequence adapts 'The Corpse' and 'The Baba Yaga' comics almost panel-for-panel—Marshall's horror background shining through studio interference.
