Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film was shot in 2017 but deliberately aged to look like a degraded VHS recording of a forgotten network TV movie.
Inspector Ike originated as a character in a 2014 web series, making this technically the first theatrical release spawned from a Vine-era comedy bit.
