Speaking about the film, director Vibeke Muasya shares, “I wanted to make a female-driven thriller about the unspeakable – the destruction of a human being. Destroyed by misplaced love and mother protection. Having grown up with a paranoid mother who often suffered from psychosis, it has mattered to me to create a story evoking the claustrophobic feeling of being in a bond with a person whom you both love and hate. A person who will ultimately destroy you if you do not destroy the relationship. We produced this film low-budget but rich in artistic freedom. It took a village of ‘crazy’ woman and a few good men.”
The film has a few twists and turns as you’d expect from this genre, skillfully executed under Muasya’s direction, accompanied by convincing performances, particularly by Madeleine Masson and Karen Leigh Sharp. It’s a well-constructed and thought-provoking movie, with a pace and execution that should leave you entertained if not concerned with what obsessions can cause.
