Director Matthias Olof Eich said he wanted to show the rape scene as hard as possible: "I already knew on set that this scene would be violent and very disturbing so I shoot some scenes to give me the chance to cut it out. Then, after the first screening of the rough cut, everyone of the audience told me to cut out the raping, because that was the worst they ever saw and they felt uncomfortable watching it. Well at last I decided to not cut it out but cut it down from 3 minutes to 1 minute. And man, it's still hard to watch. But my goal was reached. Even the hardest 'Slasher-Fan' is getting nervous watching it."
Marina Anna Eich, who played Anna, is director Matthias Olof Eich's cousin. In reference to the rape scene she said: "It was very good because I had a very good relation with my acting partner. He told me what he likes to do, if this is possible, so we made it up in our head and then it was no problem because as an actress if you have restrictions, it's not good. So I always say as an actress you're playing a role, that's not you, it's a role. And if you have any restrictions to play a role it will not be good to do it that way."
