π¬ Facts You Didn’t Know
-
Filming Location: Though the story takes place in Norway, a large portion was filmed on a set built in Pinewood Studios, UK. A real cruise ship deck was replicated with incredible detail.
-
Florence Pugh did many of her own stunts, including a terrifying underwater scene that took three days to shoot.
-
The director used minimal background score in key scenes to enhance psychological tension through silence.
-
The book has sold over 1 million copies worldwide, and the movie rights were acquired by Netflix in early 2022.
-
The screenplay was co-written by original author Ruth Ware to ensure fidelity to the source material.
π Marketing Strategy
Netflix went full throttle with immersive marketing, including:
- An interactive virtual cruise website, where fans could explore Cabin 10.
- Short cryptic videos on TikTok where Florence Pugh’s character leaves frantic voice notes.
- Augmented Reality filters on Instagram showing viewers how they'd look inside the Aurora Borealis.
- An eerie teaser campaign with “Cabin 10 is empty” plastered on streaming billboards across NYC and London.
They also hosted a special Women in Mystery virtual roundtable featuring authors like Paula Hawkins and Gillian Flynn to build hype.
π¬ Behind-the-Scenes Scoop
π₯ During the shoot, Florence Pugh reportedly remained in character for most of the day. Her intense portrayal of Lo’s spiraling paranoia was so powerful that crew members said it “blurred the line between reality and fiction.”
π¬ There were reports that a real cruise liner was used briefly to capture sweeping drone shots, but the interiors were so tightly controlled on a soundstage that even the extras weren’t told the ending.
π₯ Rebecca Ferguson’s role as Anne Bullmer was a late-stage casting decision. She brings gravitas and subtle menace to the film.
π₯ Sam Claflin prepared for his role by shadowing luxury yacht crew members, learning proper etiquette to portray Richard Bullmer’s charm and cunning convincingly.
✂️ Deleted & Alternate Scenes
Several scenes didn’t make the final cut but were teased in interviews:
- A longer backstory sequence showing Lo’s past trauma in more detail.
- An alternate intro showing the boarding of the Aurora Borealis from multiple character perspectives.
- A final post-credit scene that hinted at another passenger who knew more than they let on—ultimately removed to preserve ambiguity.
Director Susanna Fogel said these scenes might appear in an extended edition later in 2025.
π― Final Verdict
The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) is a brilliant psychological thriller that doesn’t just adapt a bestseller — it elevates it.
Florence Pugh’s portrayal of Lo is both vulnerable and fiery, dragging viewers into the eye of a storm both external and internal. With cinematic visuals, haunting audio design, and tension that builds like thunder at sea, this film stands shoulder to shoulder with the best of the genre.
It doesn’t just tell a story—it makes you feel the dread, hear the silence, and question every face on screen.
