    • Trivia
      The production was shot for under one million dollars, with a reported budget of $750,000, and filmed in Los Angeles in October 2024 over a 20-day schedule. Following the film's Midnight Madness premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 5, 2025, Focus Features acquired the distribution rights for $15 million or more after a bidding war concluded within approximately 24 hours, the highest price commanded by a genre film in the history of the festival. Several distributors pursued the film, including A24 and Neon.
