Benjamin Pfohl
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pfohl based the cult's 'Jupiter migration' on real 1970s UFO suicide sects, but inverted the power dynamic — here, the child resists where adults surrender.
The cabin was only accessible by helicopter; crew had to haul equipment through actual Alpine conditions, mirroring the film's suffocating isolation.
