Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Astron-6 crew made this as a deliberate homage to Italian giallo while working in Winnipeg, which explains why the 'Italian' locations look suspiciously Canadian.
Paz de la Huerta's performance as Josephine is deliberately stilted, mimicking the awkward dubbing of Italian films exported to English markets — a layered joke most viewers miss entirely.

They even nailed the Italian/English bad dubbing feel. Great attention to detail!

The scene where the girls head is being held against the door was filmed in the house I live in, I met the actress, the actor who played her husband/the detective and the director they were pretty nice people. I got to pet the dog he was such a sweety.

Great movie! If you're a Giallo fan and enjoy a good parody, give it a chance. Literally a whole genre of films mushed into one. The editors wife was the best part of the movie, freaking hilarious... and the unnecessary slapping... and having some voices dubbed and others not... just, so much!
