    • Trivia
      This was such a box office disappointment in the United States that in many markets it bypassed first run cinemas and was booked directly into second run/discount cinemas.
    • Goofs
      When the letters fly off of the movie theater sign, they land all around Suzanne, scattered all over the floor. However when she walks over to the box office, to collect the ticket, the letters are nowhere to be seen on the floor.

      Toby: Without memory, there can be no retribution.

    Flawed but Overlooked
    This film combines the nostalgia of drive-in cheesefests with the tried and true slasher formula. Flawed but certainly holds up against more popular entries of the time.
