Anecdotes

The Shortcut is a 2009 American independent horror film directed by Nicholaus Goossen. The film stars Andrew Seeley, Shannon Woodward, Dave Franco, and Katrina Bowden. The plot centers on two brothers who discover a rarely used shortcut and learn its dark secret.

Production

On June 5, 2008, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Adam Sandler would be launching a horror-focused imprint called Scary Madison, through his production company Happy Madison Productions, and The Shortcut would be Scary Madison's first production, co-producing with Leomax Entertainment, whose theatrical distribution branch Indigomotion set to release it, with Shannon Woodward, Andrew Seeley and Dave Franco set to star.

Preparation of the production design took 6 weeks, to develop settings covering the film's timeline, which spanned from the 1940s to 2009. While the film was written to take place in Scott Sandler's home state of New Hampshire, it was shot in and around Regina, Saskatchewan in Canada due to the film's low budget. The area only had two hours of night each day, which limited shooting.

Actor Drew Seeley sprained his ankle while filming, and wore an ankle brace. Goossen wanted to shoot a stronger amount of blood and gore, but the financiers wouldn't allow him, as they only wanted to submit the film to the MPAA once. The film received no product placement compensation, despite featuring name brands like Pepsi.
