Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Ninaber brothers (director Matthew and lead Jeremy) previously made low-budget creature features together; this is their most ambitious demon-budget yet. The entire film was shot in Ontario during winter, which explains why everyone's breath is visible even in 'hell.'
The 'doorkeeper' mythology pulls from medieval Christian psychopomp traditions but remixes them with 1980s Italian horror sensibilities—think The Church meets The Green Knight's depressed cousin.
