Our Favourite Trivia:
In May 2021, it was announced that Miramax greenlit the film with Kevin Williamson and Katelyn Crabb attached to write, along with John Hyams to direct, and Gideon Adlon to star.
Principal photography was completed in mid-2021 in and around Weber County, Utah.
Sick premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2022. The film was released on Peacock on January 13, 2023.
The film has several references to the Friday the 13th franchise, including the film's primary location being at a cabin by the lake, a scene of a knife stabbing through boards, and the mother being named Pamela. Her husband is also named Jason but isn’t said in the final film.
The film also references Scream. The opening kill went to a child actor from a Spielberg production; Drew Barrymore was in ET: The Extraterrestrial and Joel Courtney was the lead of Super 8, the killer mistakenly believes that Miri is dead after her fall, just like Gale Weathers, and when Parker thinks she finds someone to help, the killer quickly strikes with a throat cut.
Between Scream and The Faculty, writer Kevin Williamson gender flipped the name Casey from Drew Barrymore to Elijah Wood’s character. He may have done the same with Parker from Urban Legend. While he didn’t write that film, the character was played by Michael Rosenbaum who was in Cursed. Also, the urban legend told by DJ about the baby and the snake was formerly used in Dawson Creek S01E11 “The Scare” written by Kevin Williamson.
Scream (2022) premiered a year earlier, produced by Kevin Williams, and also ended with one of the killers being set on fire, this is also how Halloween II ended.
The black outfit worn by the killers is similar to the killer in Prom Night.
Other isolation horror films that match this style include Straw Dogs, Black Christmas, The Mutilator, Ghostkeeper, Scream, The Strangers, You’re Next, and Hush.
The song used in the Instagram post and used by the killers as a taunt is “A Little Respect” by Erasure.
