Inspiration behind the film:

The premise we started with was, "What if you went on a date with a serial killer, but it was a really great date?"

Ben: Dr. Wiley was loosely inspired by a self proclaimed psychopath I knew, who had a scar fetish, a shed full of painter suits, and always ordered his drinks with "two limes, no ice".

Andy: We were inspired by a true story of one of Jeffrey Dahmer's victims, who almost escaped, drugged, and actually made it to two police officers...but Dahmer was able to persuade them that this was just a drunken fight between two lovers. This dynamic plays out in some of the final scenes.
