Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is based on the real 2019 murder of Heidi Broussard; Magen Fieramusca was convicted in 2023 and sentenced to 55 years.
The film deliberately echoes 'The Hand That Rocks the Cradle' and 'Single White Female' — but the true crime source makes it infinitely more queasy.
