Director Statement

My goal was to have fun and make something truly uncomfortable. It was based on my experience in the hospital. While not quite like in the film, I do feel like it was very much born out of the pain I experienced there and the total helplessness. The film is also a homage to body horror films and the genre of horror-comedies.
