Standout Aspects

Acting

Perkins weaponizes his Psycho baggage—every twitch feels intentional.

Cinematography

Grainy 35mm that makes Toronto look like a rotting postcard.

Best for:Solo: 2am insomnia rabbit hole when you need to feel something, anything.·Rewatch: Spotting which scenes were shot in Toronto disguised as 'Anywhere, USA'.
Heads up:Violence: Brief but nasty photojournalism footage including Vietnam war imagery.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Shot during Canada's 1980s tax-shelter era, when American stars + Toronto locations = 'Hollywood North' legitimacy. The results were... mixed.

Trivia

Michael Sarrazin allegedly took this role specifically to work with Perkins, then spent the shoot terrified of him. Method or genuine fear? Unclear.
