Jesse Holland and Andy Mitton were looking for a story similar to Into the Wild - In the wilderness, or who were abandoning the company for the immersion in nature, provided that the background was a psychological horror.
.
Together, the two, performed on-field analysis of North American folk traditions, accompanied in parallel with folk tales and urban legends, combining all the parties to establish a creative base from which to film. Mitton mentioned the legend of an Eskimo village, whose residents mysteriously disappeared, leaving food in their homes, money and domestic animals, as one of the greatest sources of inspiration for writing the screenplay. By combining these elements, the two worked for over two years to write the script, until in 2009 they had a meeting with private investors keen to fund their project.
.
Done in the style of "slow-burning horror characters, the films of the same kind that have affected the two authors are: The Exorcist, The Shining, Alien, the Thing, The Blair Witch Project and Carrie.
Holland and Mitton, knowing of the existence of several horror films set in the woods or rural areas, have tried to avoid the presence of clichés or reference to films of the genre, rather than focusing on the environment, on feelings of the characters, citing a quiet weekend of fear as "a really excellent example of character-driven films in the woods, where things are going terribly"
