- After 10 years, Scream Factory will finally distribute the movie on Blu-ray and DVD on October 2017. (7/7/17)
- This film was completed in 2007 and MGM was going to release it theatrically in 2008, but it was ultimately pulled from the release schedule for unknown reasons. Impatient fans eventually found other means to watch the movie, and because of that and its notorious delayed release, the film has received somewhat of a cult following over the years. The movie continued to sit on the shelves until 2014, when it received a quiet VOD release exclusively with DirecTV, but was reportedly pulled again after only a month.
- Directed by John Erick Dowdle (As Above So Below, Devil, Quarantine).
- Though the film is played out as if it's based on actual events, it is infact all purely fictional.
