Speaking to “The Hollywood Reporter” Leonetti, the director of the movie, said that two supernatural things happened during the recording of the movie. The first incident occurred when the recordings were prepared in the old apartment where John and Mia Gordon lived.

“Our devil in the movie, has three fingers and three claws. The marks were being backlit by the moon. I have a picture. It was sick,” Leonetti said.

The other incident occurred when a scene where a janitor of the building, where the protagonist couple lived with her daughter, was chased by a demon rolled. Producer Peter Safran called it “much worse” because it injured a person. “We shot in this awesome, old apartment building near  Koreatown and things went a bit funky (…) When the concierge was placed near a lamp, it broke and fell on his head,” said.
