Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Kola Superdeep Borehole was abandoned in 1992 after reaching 12,262 meters. Soviet scientists reported weird sounds and anomalies, which conspiracy theorists have weaponized ever since. This film basically said 'what if we made that horny for body horror?'
Director Arseny Syukhin shot most interiors in an actual decommissioned Soviet military facility. The mold you see on walls? Often not props. Method filmmaking meets actual biological hazards.
