Trivia

Shot in 15 days on a shoestring budget in California's Angeles National Forest, which doubled for generic American wilderness.

Cultural

Part of a forgotten wave of 2000s 'torture parenthood' films where pregnancy becomes bodily horror — rarely from female directors, making this an odd outlier.
