The film was conceived together under the concept of "La casa latina del terror" (The Latin House of Horror), an ambitious model that plans to produce quality Latin American horror films for the world, with Nito's film being one of six films that will start with this concept.[7][8][9]

The film was shot in Pátzcuaro (Michoacán) as well as in Guanajuato and Quintana Roo, Mexico.[11][2]
