Wrestling fans should recognize Detective Marx as ECW and WWE Hardcore Legend Tommy Dreamer.
"In all of my work I try to provide the most realistic experience possible. So if you can just pause for a second and imagine you're in a dim basement, tied by your hands and feet, forced to allow this stranger to feed you, bathe you, change your diaper, inject you with drugs, and then I have to somehow get you to fall in love with him by the end."
Corynn Egreczky, Writer, 2013.
Detective Marx suggests that people have searched for Jennifer for five months, but the news article confirms that she has been held, barefoot, for at least one year. Multiple cuts of the film are clearly allowed by the edits, including a scenario with the Marx scenes removed, as indicated when Jennifer realizes that Jeremy has no intention of ever letting her go, and later admits her own feelings while accepting the house as home.
The film's 'Facebook' page indicates that production began and ended in 2013. Multiple sources date the actual release year as 2017.
