While the film was originally intended to have a theatrical release, because of the big similarities with Scary Movie and the popularity of that previous film it was decided to release it direct-to-video.
Aimee Graham plays a character named Screw in this film, which is a spoof of Drew Barrymore's character in Scream. In Scream 2, Heather Graham (Aimee's older sister) plays the Hollywoodized version of Barrymore's character in the film-within-a-film, "Stab".
