Scottish coast so bleak you'll need a blanket.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Christopher Smith shot on location at a real deconsecrated monastery in Scotland — cast members reported 'atmospheric difficulties' that weren't in the script.
The film flopped partly because audiences expected Conjuring-style jump scares, but Smith was doing Slow Burn Catholic Dread — a subgenre that demands patience and gets none.
