Interesting facts

Production

Writer-director Lee was attracted to the original short story, which he adapted, because of its emotional depth. Lee said casting for the film was difficult, as he had trouble finding an actress in her 30s who was both comfortable with horror and playing a mother. Liu, who was cast as the mother, said the role was her "most challenging to date", as she had to play a range of emotions without having been a mother.
