Fun Facts
Director Jamie Adams (BAFTA-nominated for Black Mountain Poets) banned traditional scripts. The cast were given scene prompts only (“couple argues over muse”, “power goes out”) and the camera rolled until the emotional temperature broke. Adams calls it “a thriller played like a jam session”
James McAvoy never saw his co-stars’ prompts. To keep reactions raw he asked Adams to seal his notes in envelopes that were torn open seconds before “Action”—so every flinch you see is first-take electricity.
The 11th-century Herefordshire mansion once hosted Elizabeth I and later Nazi-sympathiser parties; locals swear orbs photobomb night shoots. Production left the haunted attic untouched—it’s the only room you never see on screen.
