Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Luxembourg has almost no horror film industry, making this a rare glimpse into the country's gothic potential. Director Molitor deliberately used local folklore rather than American werewolf conventions.
The film intentionally never shows a full werewolf transformation, keeping the horror in what Elaine imagines Martin becoming rather than what we see. The budget was under €1 million.
