Director Clarke was inspired by the long-running system of various forms of abuse against women inflicted by the Church and Government system, prevalent in the heyday of institutions in the 1960s.
Magdalene Laundries were a long-running institution (250 years) across Ireland that oversaw women ranging from the impregnated out of marriage to prostitutes, the physically and mentally disabled, and women deemed to possess 'loose morals'.
Clarke was concerned for the Galway premiere in 2018, for women in the age demographic who could have undergone the treatment depicted in the film; however, the film met with positive reception.
Unlike most found-footage films, 16mm olden-style Super-8 camera footage is utilized by the characters.
The second theatrically-released found-footage horror film to deal with the Divine Comedy, and Dante's Inferno after 'As Above, So Below' (2014).
"Mother Superior: You've some neck on you. Coming into this home and casting aspersions on me. Who do you think you are? You send all the country's dirty wee secrets here, here to my home and sally off without a care in the world. Sweep it all under the carpet and they expect us to hide the dirty laundry. Isn't that it, Father? Leave all the dirty work to the women. Father Thomas: Reverend Mother, I don't think that... Mother Superior: No! You don't, do you? You worry about how we treat the girls. What about how you treat us? Leave us to hide all the messes and cover it all up and sworn and all holier-than-thou. Do you know how many of the church's messes that I personally have had to clean up? Do you know how many of the babies born here had fathers who were Fathers, Father?"
"Father Thomas: Bless me father for I have sinned... it's been a fucking long time since my last confession"
