Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Guy Goossens primarily worked in Flemish television; this remains one of his few theatrical features.
The film taps into a specifically European tradition of children's adventure-horror where the danger is mysterious rather than violent—think 1970s BBC serials.
