- TriviaThough not explained in the movie, the novel goes into further depths about Vess and his background, namely that as a young child, he developed sociopathic and sadistic tendencies and began torturing and killing animals. When he was nine, Vess' parents caught on to his violence and attempted to seek help for him. In response, he set fire to their home, killing them both. The fire was ruled an accident and Vess was assumed to be a traumatized survivor.
Vess was then placed in the custody of his grandmother, where he stayed for two years before stabbing her to death in a fit of anger. After this, he was placed in a youth home for just over a year before his record was expunged and he was adopted out to another family, who had no knowledge of his crimes. Vess lived with this family until he was twenty, at which point he killed them in another arson fire for their inheritance.
- GoofsWhen Chyna throws herself down the stairs to break the chair she's chained to, you can see both of her hands come free as she's falling. But when she lands at the bottom of the staircase they are connected again.

Extraordinarily Intense...
This film may give assumption that it's a corny thriller but people thinking this would be easily mistaken!. This film is INTENSE!!!!. I know thrillers that capture you for the most part of action scenes, but this film captures you throughout the entire ordeal. And it is an ordeal. Even the ordeals each character experiences... it's suspenseful, extremely thrilling, 110% capturing, and when it comes down to it... just INTENSE. It fit's it's name to a T.
Not ever have I seen a thriller that is a TV movie ever be so intense. This is a trillion times worse than your American Psycho... this murderer is a mass slaughterer with the most insanity I've ever seen a human have in a thriller film. You sometimes wonder if this person is human. A glazed insane gloom look inside the eyes of this murderer is enough to make your hair stick up off of your arm. John does a BRILLIANT job!.
A brilliant thriller... check it out if you haven't already.
