2. Director James Watkins shot the film on location in Kent, England, utilizing the natural scenery to amplify the film's bleak and tense atmosphere.
3. The film's finale was controversially altered from the original script after test screenings, resulting in a more unsettling and open-ended conclusion to emphasize the horror and unpredictability of the events.
