Did You Know?
| Trivia | Writer Randal Viscovich claims the majority of his screenplay was watered down by order of the executive producers. He wrote a trashy and exploitative horror film that included cannibalism and graphic nudity. He was shocked to see it lightened and even the language toned down. See more » |
| Goofs | Characters are drinking cans of beer when one leaves. As he leaves, there is no beer can in his hands. When he arrives home next door, the beer can is back in his hands. See more » |
