Did you know
• According to the director on the DVD commentary, the maggots that get rubbed onto the face of the bratty sister are real. However, they didn't tell her that. It was their way of getting back at her for not showing up for filming on the previous day, due to her booking a higher paying job on that day. This made them angry since the film was on an amazingly short 10-day shooting schedule.
• Director Dave Parker refused to include nudity.
• The hospital set at the beginning of the film is re-used from End of Days.

The living hate this movie
Everyone tries hard, but tough.
Total cheese - it's not that bad if you keep this in mind.
