Trivia
The film was shelved for over three years before it was finally released.

Goofs
When Tucker prepares the nail gun for Dale to use as a diversion, the air hose falls out just before the shot ends.

Quotes
Tucker: [Unsure of what to say to the sheriff] Oh hidy-ho officer, we've had a doozy of a day. There we were minding our own business, just doing chores around the house, when kids started killing themselves all over my property.

Crazy credits
SPOILERS: In the opening scene, just before the opening credits, the "found footage" of the female reporter and her cameraman are the same reporting team that is shown at the end of the film reporting from the crime scene on the TV in Tucker's hospital room. The figure who attacks them out of the darkness is obviously Chad, who like all classic teen slasher villains has come back to life after seemingly being killed by the end of the movie and possibly setting up for a sequel.

Masterpiece of Horror Comedy

Eli Craig did a masterful job in presenting the best horror comedy since "Suck."

Playing on the tried and true "Flinstones Plot" of miscommunication that may drive some viewers crazy, Craig brings the gore and the humor with great special effects and wonderful acting. Best of all, of course, the story is solid with an interesting and poignant antagonist development that is extremely impressive.

Better still, the laughs aren't cheap and silly.

And if you live in the southern United States and hate how "southern folk", "backwoods families" and "hillbillies" are exploited for horror purposes, you'll love this tremendous twist on such a overused and ill-conceived cliché.

This is one of the greatest horror comedies ever presented on film.
