Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a Japanese remake of the 1997 Canadian cult classic—director Vincenzo Natali reportedly refused to watch it to preserve his opinion of the original.
The 1997 film's iconic low-budget aesthetic (one room, color gels) is replaced here with sleeker production values that somehow feel less threatening.
