Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Susan Swift (Ivy) got the role after 6,000 girls auditioned; she made zero other films and became a lawyer. Single career choice, iconic.

Cultural

Released during America's 70s reincarnation obsession—Bridge Murphy case, Shirley MacLaine, everything. This was mainstream spooky, not niche.

This movie is interesting.

A very enjoyable I film. A real craftmanship of real cinematography of yesteryear. I love the warm analogues colour pallete formed of red, violet and orange colours to explore the protagonist emotions as she undergoes a difficult time before rising up to her fears and excepting the mystical exoticness the film expresses through changes in temperature from hot climates to snowy modern western world and hot tempered emotions melting keeping the audience on its toes also expressed through characters in dark lighting interchanging with significantly brighter scenes up to the chest and shoulder and then closer into faces lit halfway (split lighting), forming a butterfly shape (butterfly effect) and making faces seem longer (loop effect) all to express the dramatic emotions the characters undergo.
