Limited release
It will have a limited release in theaters in the United States on October 6, 2023, and will be released weeks later on the Amazon Prime Video platform.
Replicated house
The house featured in the movie was re-created to resemble a real house located just outside Westport, Ontario, Canada. Originally, the plan was to film at the actual location near Westport; however, due to actor scheduling constraints, it would have required shooting during the Canadian winter, which was not suitable for the film's storyline. Consequently, the production team opted to construct an exact replica of the Westport house in Australia.
Start of filming
Filming began in January 2022, in Melbourne.
