Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film leans hard into the Lizzie Borden mythos, though it takes creative liberties with the actual Fall River murders of 1892. The 'forty whacks' nursery rhyme gets visual callbacks that horror historians will clock immediately.
Director Jerren Lauder shot this in Oklahoma on a shoestring budget; the 'small town' exterior is actually several rural locations stitched together. Odessa A'zion filmed this between seasons of Grand Army and before her breakout in Hellraiser (2022).
