Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Joe McGinniss's book 'Fatal Vision,' which McDonald later sued him over for betrayal. The movie itself becomes about the betrayal of making true crime entertainment.
Director Nicholas McCarthy specializes in 'is it supernatural or psychological?' horror — here, the 'monster' is simply a man who might believe his own lies. The ambiguity IS the horror.
