In a reddit AMA with Billy Corgan on April 4, 2015, Marilyn Manson had the following to say about the film Well, a lot of people think that I made the film because there was a trailer for it. I made the trailer in order to get people to make the film. Ive since decided, because while writing it, it was so... damaging to my psyche, Ive decided I dont want to have anything to do with it. Ive decided to work on other movie projects. A haunted writer in an isolated castle is tormented by sleepless nights and visions of a girl named Alice. He finds himself becoming a symptom of his own invention. ........
