Just finished Woman of the Hour and wow… that ending.
Amy’s escape was intense—she outsmarts Alcala by faking sympathy, then runs for help. The cops finally arrest him… but the screen cuts to black on her gasp. No music. No relief. Just raw trauma.

The worst part? Alcala was released after that and went on to kill again before justice caught up. He died in prison in 2021.

It’s a chilling reminder that survival doesn’t always mean closure—and the system failed so many.

🎯 True crime meets emotional gut punch.

🎬 Woman of the Hour – A Glimpse Behind the Scenes in Metro Vancouver
Directed by Anna Kendrick in her feature directorial debut, Woman of the Hour was brought to life with the support of Arcana Studio, and a significant portion of the film was shot in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia.

This location served as a central production hub, especially for the meticulously recreated 1970s game show set—an essential backdrop for this thriller based on real events. Utilizing Vancouver's top-tier sound stages and period-accurate set design, the production team achieved an authentic retro TV-show vibe that contrasts starkly with the film’s darker themes.

Often called the “Hollywood of the North,” Vancouver’s combination of skilled crews, diverse settings, and generous film incentives made it an ideal choice for a film that shifts between glossy television spectacle and chilling true-crime suspense.

After America’s total collapse, the country is a patchwork of warlords, mercenaries, and mutants—all fighting for scraps of a broken dream. In this lawless wasteland, one lone drifter hunts for vengeance with nothing but grit, guns, and a haunted past. Arcana delivers a savage blend of post-apocalyptic mayhem and grindhouse grit in a story where survival isn't guaranteed—and mercy is extinct.
