Development
Tarasiuk was inspired by true crime documentaries on Netflix, "as a satire to some degree," and myths around the world involving "forest creatures". The film was inspired by The Blair Witch Project and The Ring.[citation needed]
Filming
The film was made over several weeks in December on Vancouver Island to capture a gray, rainy, dark tone and sense of dread.[citation needed]
