For Omar, it was a complete departure from the characters he is used to taking on, as the detective he plays is ambivalent about the source of the evil he is facing. He said:
“This character was a challenge in that I had to keep the character grounded. I mean, we don’t know if what’s happening is supernatural or not. It’s like this surreal circumstance happening, and a man who basically loses himself trying to figure out the puzzle. That was challenging and that really attracted me to the project.”
