Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Filmed in the Dominican Republic but fictionalizes the location as 'Republic of Santiago' to heighten disorientation. Director Dominic James primarily works in Quebec television.

Cultural

The film joins a micro-genre of 'killer on the road' Canadian thrillers including 'Highwaymen' and 'Joy Ride,' though its 4.5 rating suggests it mostly disappointed that tradition.
