Trivia
Misha Collins has since stated that he regrets his participation in the film, saying that he was unaware at the time of the infamy and strong emotions in Canada surrounding the real crimes. He ended up having a phone conversation with one of the victims who managed to escape, and he now routinely tells people not to watch the film, particularly when it comes up in at Supernatural conventions, although fans still occasionally bring the DVD to be signed.

The telephone number on the taxi that drops the Bernardos off after their honeymoon displays the area code "613". At that time, the only area code for St Catharines/Niagara was 905. (613 is the area code for Ottawa/Eastern Ontario.) See more »Quotes

I was very disturbed to see some of the comments made about this movie. It was said that "the murder and gratuitous violence scenes were not explicit or even realistic"! They were plenty explicit and realistic, enough that I almost stopped the movie. Also, it has to be understood why Canadians did not support this movie. The victims in this movie were children victims, of a smallish, "quiet calm" community, and they were the children of this community. Imagine if this happened to your next door neighbours child, or YOUR child, and then someone wants to make a movie about it! You would be infuriated! I lived in Welland, Ontario when these people were on the loose. I was 12 years old, and my parents were paranoid nervous wrecks until these people were arrested. The day they were arrested, we did not have any classes, they parked us in front of the TV's to watch the news, and so we would have peace of mind that these evil sickos were off the street, and we were safe from them. They terrorized the communities, even the ones that we have no knowledge of them being in, they were close enough to us, that it was very possible that one of the victims could have been one of my friends, they were just too close to us. So, when you complain that this movie was not real enough, or explicit enough, just remember, it not JUST a movie, it was real life! And what you see in the movie is not even the half of all the horrible things they REALLY did.
