Production
Shooting took place in Austin, Texas during the summer of 2013. The project originally began as a generic slasher project for writers Stroud and Talley, but soon evolved into something bigger, with Stroud saying, "About halfway through it I realized that I could do something real with this and touch some feelings, thoughts and themes, so I went in a completely different direction than when I started."[8] The film utilized crowd-funding site Indiegogo to raise more than $6,000 of its budget.[9]
Reception
Critical reviews for the film have been largely positive. Dave Wain of UK Horror Scene gave the film 8 out of 10, describing it as "a treat for anyone that has any kind of affection for good, honest independent horror" and saying it should be viewed as "a template for what independent horror filmmakers should seek to create".[10] The Deadhouse also praised the film, notably the acting of Friedrich and Foulk, saying that they are "completely and utterly convincing in how they react to things".[11]
