Overview
- The feature debut of Cal McMau follows inmate Taylor’s fraught dynamic with new cellmate Dee, probing violence, masculinity and survival.
- The production was completed in 18 days with a claustrophobic approach, and David Jonsson says he lost 30lbs to play Taylor.
- Jonsson credits his off‑camera bond with Tom Blyth for helping them decompress from the intensity, while Blyth says he often struggled to shed Dee’s tension after filming.
- Co‑star Alex Hassell says the cast regularly reassured one another between takes and apologized for intimidating moments to keep the set safe.
- UK theatrical release is scheduled for February 20, 2026.
