Production
The film was shot at Cégep de Maisonneuve and Collège Ahuntsic as well as Griffintown and Westmount.
There were two versions of the film produced, one in English and one in French. The director Denis Villeneuve hoped the film would enter into the English-Canadian market, as well as the American one. Villeneuve shot the film in black and white, so as to avoid the presence of blood on screen.
The name of the perpetrator is never mentioned in the film. The end credits list Maxim Gaudette's character as "The killer".
