The film is directed by Gabrielle Rosson, who co-wrote the screenplay with Tullock. Production is set to rely on practical effects during an October shoot, with Joan of Art LLC and Trash Queen LLC producing. Kattan expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, 'I’m really excited to be stepping back into the horror genre.
