Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on a Boom! Studios graphic novel that was drastically reimagined; Prior threw out most of the source material to build something more philosophically disturbing.
The film's marketing sold it as generic Slender Man horror, tanking its reception; it's actually closer to Kiyoshi Kurosawa or Zulawski's Possession than any studio horror.
