Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Released during peak 'stranger danger' panic, the film weirdly romanticizes the threat it pretends to warn against—pure '90s moral confusion.

Trivia

D.W. Moffett's Richard was reportedly rewritten to be more 'sympathetic' during production, explaining the tonal whiplash between charming yuppie and actual monster.
