EC: Institunional Context - Session 9 (Anderson, 2001)

 
 
Production:
  • It was director Brad Anderson's first horror film (he had previously directed two romantic comedies)
  • The majority of the principle photography was shot in a small section of the Danvers State Asylum
  • The rest of the Asylum location was deemed 'too unsafe' for filming
  • All of the props used in filming were found inside the Asylum according to David Caruso (the lead role)
  • I was one of the first films to be shot in 24p HD digital video
Distribution:
  • It had an estimated budget of around $1,500,000
  • It had a total gross profit of $378,176
  • The film had a low budget for marketing, and so it's only official visual advertisements were the three posters/covers made for display outside cinemas
  • The lack of advertising made for a failure to meet profit requirements at the box office
