Premise

[edit]

Moira Cole's life was shattered by the slaying of her loved ones by her unhinged and fixated cousin, Lee Morris. She now lives a simple and quiet suburban life with her two grown sons who were also scarred by the tragedy. They are brutally reminded of the murders every October by the successful horror film series based on them.[3]

Principal photography began in early December 2022 in West Hartford, Connecticut for two days.[4] The city serves as the fictional Deep Ridge Falls for the film.[5] Filming moved a few months later to Los Angeles to shoot interior scenes with Dern, Manning, and Smith, before moving back to Connecticut in July 2023 to conclude filming.[6]
