Production
The film was shot in Buffalo, New York. Make-up effects were created by Arick Szymecki and Stacey Book, while Brett Piper provided stop-motion animation, and chroma key compositing was used. Director Greg Lamberson stated that the film "is a movie for fans of practical effects, although we'll use CGI to enhance what we shot on set. Our DP, Chris Rados, had to do a lot of shooting behind plexiglass".
Release and reception
The film premiered at the Scare-A-Con film festival on September 11, 2015, where it won best film, and played dozens of festivals thereafter, including many international, during which it took several awards including a Best Writer Award for Paul McGinnis. The film was released on DVD by Camp Motion Pictures on December 13, 2016.
Amy Seidman of ComingSoon.net called the film "a fun, no-brainer kind of flick". Scott Hallam of the website Dread Central wrote that "you have to overlook a lot of the low-budget pitfalls that often haunt a film like this, but itβs indeed worth looking past the blemishes of the movie to enjoy humor and great spirit".
