    • Trivia
      The role of Sue Ann was originally written for a white actress. Tate Taylor modified the script to better suit an African-American woman after he showed the script to Octavia Spencer and she expressed interest in playing the role. The pair had previously collaborated on The Help (2011).
    • Goofs
      When Maggie steps out of the house to check on her dog, she is wearing the earrings that had already been stolen by Ma several days before (although they're missing again in the next shot.)
    • Quotes

      [as she slashes his wrist whilst giving him a transfusion of canine blood]

      Ben: [desperately] I was just a kid!

      Sue Ann: [enraged] So was I, motherfucker.

    Entertaining but gets tired soon
    The concept is gold: maladjusted adult tries to live her unfulfilled teenage dreams. The realisation is absolutely terrible tho: after an adequately creepy start, the movie script becomes more and more implausible. There are a lot of over the top moments which I won't spoil which are well delivered but aren't valorised enough. The final twist feels wasted.
