Trivia
In a 2019 interview with But Why Tho?, Zak Hilditch spoke about his inspirations for the film: "Stephen King 's DNA is running all throughout this movie. My best pitch for it is basically, 'Based on a Stephen King novel that Stephen King never wrote'. And that was sort of the vibe I was going into it with after my previous film, which WAS a Stephen King adaptation, 1922 (2017). I was in sort of that King zone of just really loving his writing and how he just burrows under the skin of his characters, and this really to me is very much inspired by King, it's inspired by La quatrième dimension (1959)... Ordinary people caught in extraordinary situations. That's stuff I really like exploring."

Goofs
When Katrina is sitting in her car outside the motel her phone reads Wed Nov 7 12:06pm, but a few scenes later at the hospital the ECG monitor on her daughter reads 15:47 Dec 3.

Quotes
The Suit: What was done for your daughter doesn't come cheap. Her little soul was spared. And now you owe one in return.
Katrina Ridgeway: I'm sorry, I thought you said soul.
The Suit: Ms. Ridgeway, you don't have long to pay your debt. You only have until sunset, which is now only seven hours away. The soul you take can be any one of your choosing, but it must be human. And it must be paid in full and on time.

Opportunity lost

Rattlesnake has a great concept. A women gets a puncture and while fixing it her daughter gets bitten by a rattlesnake. Suddenly a trailer appeared and a women cures the bite and says she will talk about payment later. Payment it turns out is she must replace her life with the life of another or her daughter will die as payment has not been met.

So the concept is great, any artform which makes you think what would I do and helps you empathise with the characters is usually on to s winner but that's where it starts to be let down. It's right here where some amazing philosophical debates could start to begin. Could you find someone evil and feel ok about killing them when there is an opportunity that this person could change in the future and positively impact others? Is it right you should take the life of another when fatalists and people of religion may say you are going against god's plan. Or is it ok to take the life of someone seriously ill when there may be opportunity of miraculous recovery you are taking away. All these a brilliant film would make but it doesn't explore or question the situation at all, there is only acceptense. It's a shame really, opportunity lost.
