Production

The film was shot in a single, 87 minute take.[1] Raimi said that principal photography took three days from rehearsal to final take.[2] It is the first of its kind by a Mexican director who shot the film in the United States.[3]

Release

The film was picked up for distribution by Alief[4] at Marché du Film[2] and premiered at FrightFest on August 28, 2023.[5] In May 2024, Red Water Entertainment acquired the North American distribution rights, with a 2025 release date.[6]

Reception

Failure! received mostly positive reviews from critics. It has a 75% approval rating on film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes with an average score of 7.7/10 based on eight reviews.[7]

Martin Unsworth at Starburst Magazine scored the film 5 out of 5.[8] Paul Chapinal at Film News gave it 4 out of 5 stars.[9] Film critic Kim Newman said the film is more satisfying that Kahuam's Forgiveness.[10] Anton Bitel at Projected Figures said it is "an understated, if unpredictable chamber drama" that "is concerned with broader themes of American capital and criminality."[11]
