    • 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.

    Come on guys... it's not THAT bad...
    Just don't expect too much!

    It's not a horror movie, it's some sort of fun teen thriller-ish movie with some twisted scenarios but overall a quite simple script. It's not very scary, though there are a fez fun jump scares. Turn off those critical brain cells and just enjoy the movie...

    I guess I can say that I didn't get bored watching this movie.

    For reference maybe it's good to know that I watch movies for entertainment purposes. If you are in it for the "art" (think of the most boring movie 'It comes at night'), you might be disappointed. If you enjoy entertaining flicks like 'Happy deathday' or 'The Babysitter' or stuff like that, I'm sure you will enjoy this one.
