The film is written and directed byChristopher Landon, who is most well known for his well-received slasher comedy films such asHappy Death Day, its sequelHappy Death Day 2U, andFreaky, to name a few, with this film set to be a bit of a change in genre and scenery for the writer-director. In a previous interview withEmpire Magazineearlier this month, he spoke on this change, saying, “I really wanted to flex certain muscles that I felt like I had, but I hadn’t been able to use yet,” Landon said about the change in genre from his previous works. “One of those being this big, sweeping, emotional story that really pays off at the end.”
