Production
The film was shot in North Carolina and New York.[3] According to cinematographer Powell Robinson, the film "is set in New York, but we filmed primarily in Wilmington, NC.

The film premiered at South by Southwest on March 11, 2023.[5] It was then released on Hulu on October 2, 2023.[6]
Reception
The film has a 50% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 24 reviews.[7] Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com awarded the film three out of four stars, writing "Zlokovic's tone confidently moves between sincere emotional beats and horror-comedy, her story's expanding scope taking after 8os directors like John Carpenter and Larry Cohen".[8] RogerEbert.com also listed the film as one of the top horror films of 2023.[9]
Dennis Harvey of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "But despite the grotesque premise, its attack is a little too blunt to make much impact, whether taken as thinly-veiled satire or straight fantasy thriller."[10]
