The story pays tribute to Lady Macbeth from Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' throughout the film. There is the re-occurrence of her bloody face and blood on her hands after the death of her father, which only she can see. Also, the series of nightmares and dream sequences that she can't separate from reality ultimately leading to her insanity. Lady Macbeth is never referred to by her first name but only by her state of marriage with her husband, just as Sweetheart is never referred to by her real name only the nickname the men in her life have given her.
Hailey Jackson's character is never referred to by her name and is only referred to by her nickname, Sweetheart. Chris and Hailey decided in their first meeting conceiving the film that she would never be given a proper name.
Originally, Hailey Jackson was supposed to be wearing the wedding ring during the engagement party scene. However, the previous day, She wore the ring over her formal white party gloves and the ring got stuck. After wrapping her hand with ice packs in attempt to shrink her finger, they ultimately had to cut the glove off her hand in order to get the ring off. They decided she would just wear the gloves during the scene instead of both.
Hailey Jackson insisted on wearing gloves in as many scenes as possible because it was accurate to the time period but also because both her wrists were healing from wounds from a fight scene shot for a different film just a week before and to cover the tattoo on her left arm.
Sweetheart is wearing red every time someone dies.
Luke was given his name as a homage to Lucifer. Luke appears to Sweetheart asking her to commit horrific acts in exchange for freedom and a happy life, mirroring the tales of Lucifer taking people's souls in exchange for things in the material world.
