Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Shot in an actual abandoned house in Cork, Ireland — the crew found genuine decades-old belongings still inside.

Insight

The crossbow was McCarthy's deliberate subversion of slasher weapons; reloading takes 30 seconds of real screen time.

My Dog Charlie, is the Dog in this movie. Sadly, Charlie past away at the end of 2023. Miss him so much. He had a great time during the filming of those scenes.

@cgtnetwork 2861

This movie doesn't need to rely on jump scares to be scary and that's what makes it a good horror movie.

@ricardogabriel7046 1271

I never trusted the Energizer Bunny. Turns out I was right.
