Trivia
Early in the film, when David is on his couch watching a commercial for Marconi, a dvd of Phantasm Ravager can be seen to the left of the TV. Don Coscarelli is the writer/director of the first 4 Phantasm films, but he vacated the director's chair for Ravager which came out in 2016, 4 years AFTER this movie.
