In October 2024, it was announced that Glenn replaced Nolte, and that Kutsuna, O'Toole and Gaffigan were added to the cast and that filming occurred. [2]
Ben Nicholson reviewed the film with positive remarks and describes it as a "combination of psychological thriller, giallo mystery and hallmark movie.” His final verdict commends the film and the lead actor: "Scott Glenn is fantastic in this genre-bender that uses heartwarming comedy and bloody giallo to rage against the dying of the light."

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a mixed review, praising Glenn’s performance but not the film itself: “A great performance in an uneven film.” [6]
