Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was director John V. Soto's first feature after transitioning from music videos, and he shot it in just 25 days on a shoestring budget in Perth.
The film emerged during a brief Australian horror boom alongside 'Wolf Creek' and 'The Loved Ones,' though it never broke through internationally despite Mendelsohn's later stardom.
