The movie is written and directed by Jenna Mattison. “I love the performances in the film,” says the filmmaker. “Both Rose, and Michael, and the rest of the cast, understood the subtlety and that I didn’t want to shove the audience on any level. From the sound effects, to the score, I wanted to immerse them in this world and let them experience the building fear in their own way.”
