The movie was directed by Travis Stevens (Lady on the Third Ground) who co-wrote the movie alongside Mark Steensland (The Particular) and Kathy Charles (Citadel Freak).

Stevens beforehand detailed the methods through which he wished to honor the historical past of the vampire subgenre, in addition to reinvent it.

“One other facet was on this specific subgenre, attempting to each pepper in tributes to what I thought-about to be classics of this subgenre, in addition to some new contributions to the subgenre that perhaps individuals sooner or later will look to and say, ‘Hey, that was actually nice, that kind of scene,'” Stevens detailed to ComicBook.com. “Then, again to the character aspect, there’s this parallel between what Anne the character goes by that Barbara’s personal story as an individual and as an actor … once more, she had this profession going after which she stepped away from it to boost a household for 30 years and obtained again into performing just lately and wished to grow to be extra lively as a storyteller herself. So having conversations together with her about what her life was like, what that have was like, and discovering methods to include these particulars into the script was one other facet of it.”

He added, “After which, to not be spoilery, however the thought of The Grasp and what The Grasp provides Anne, the concept that it isn’t a, ‘Do you wish to be together with your husband or do you wish to be with me?’ Altering that dynamic to, ‘What would you like for your self?’ was a giant change. And so I mentioned, ‘Hey, I believe we should always make this Grasp character a lady. And I believe we should always take away any semblance of what a conventional vampire film may be, the place the vampire is available in and is attempting to romantically seduce the lady, that is rather more about you might want to love your self.’ That was one other factor.
