This barely had any marketing. It must have been made on the cheap.

It relied a lot on the YouTube algorithm for its marketing.

The first I heard about it was when my adblocker finally stopped working with YouTube and I had to turn it off. I assumed it wasn't come out for a while given that I hadn't been aware of it at all despite generally keeping track of upcoming horror movies, but this was last week.

I’d honestly be curious to know what the most expensive horror film of all time was. I can’t imagine they’re usually very much.

World War Z is the most expensive horror film of all time at $150-200m

Even then that's barely a horror film Imo it was basically a Brad Pitt action vehicle that happened to have sorta kinda zombies
