- Quotes
Anton: Hey, I didn't kill anyone on purpose, okay?
Mick: Yeah, well, we weren't in hell! I mean, there was this bright white light at the end of a long tunnel, right, and there was these chicks' voices, and that music...
Anton: Music?
Pnub: Yeah, kinda uncool music, like, Enya. And these chicks' voices, they were saying, "come to us, come towards the light".
Anton: So what happened?
Mick: We figured, fuck it, I mean, it was really far!
- Alternate versionsThe DVD contains the original ending, set in the school's gym pool. The producers and the director decided to shoot a different ending because the original ending was very different in its style of humour and horror and they thought it didn't fit into the film.

Featured review
I love this movie!
What more can I say about this movie?
All I knew about it was that it had quite a few elements of teen comedy and that I've only seen the tail end of it a few times.
Now that I finally saw the whole thing, it's now one of my favorites!
It's a welcome change from most of the horror movies I've seen.
Great music, great acting, and gorgeous women (Specifically speaking, Jessica Alba)... what more do you want?
This is one of those movies that you can watch and understand it perfectly... whether or not you're stoned.
10 out of 10
