Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in rural Indiana on a reported $15,000 budget; the goblin suit was custom-built by a local FX artist who'd never done feature work before.
Director Chris Lee has cited 'The Babadook' as influence, but inverted the metaphor—the goblin here enables violence rather than manifesting grief.
