Did you know

• The story was originally going to be the concept for an episode of The X-Files (1993), which was inspired by Sole Survivor (1984). In this movie, a woman who was the sole survivor of a plane crash starts to be haunted by dead people that Death uses temporarily as vessels trying to kill her to correct its plan, and killing everyone who suspect it.

• (at around 49 mins) The Alka-Seltzer sequence, which follows Terry getting hit by the bus, had to be extended as test audiences were still recovering from the shock.

• The original plan was to have Death as a much more obvious entity in the film as it was in Tod's death (with Tod seeing a shadow in the mirror and the water running back into the toilet to "cover its tracks"). After Tod's death it was decided to have the deaths look like rare accidents. This way to kill the Flight 180 survivors pays tribute to The Omen (1976): in it, also rare accidents happen around Robert Thorn and his son Damien.
