Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Robert Belushi is Jim Belushi's son and cut his teeth in improv, which explains his terrifying ability to pivot between 'harmless goof' and 'genuine threat' mid-sentence.
The film weaponizes the 'cool girl' social script—Maritza's politeness becomes her trap, a horror trope increasingly explored in post-#MeToo indie cinema.
