Production

Writing and development

Writer-director John Pata conceived the idea for Black Mold in 2016 while exploring a dilapidated house.[4] At the time, Pata was struggling with depression; he wrote a brief outline for the film, revisiting it and developing it in late 2020, after having attended therapy for his mental health struggles.[4]

Filming

Shooting began in March 2022 in central Illinois, and lasted for about one month.[2][4]

Release

Black Mold premiered at the 10th Panic Fest on April 15, 2023, at the Screenland Armour theater in Kansas City, Missouri.[1][3] The film screened at FrightFest in London, England, on August 25, 2023.[5]

Reception

Grace Detwiler of Rue Morgue commended the film for its direction, cinematography, and production design, but criticized its characterization, as well as the execution of its themes.[1] However, Detwiler noted that, "the scares offered up by the film's final third are worthy of the first two acts' slow burn ... when the slow-growing tension finally comes to a head".[1]
