Principal photography began in December 2006 and continued on a part-time basis until February 2008. The schedule wasn't helped by adverse weather conditions, which would delay the shoot for months at a time. The production briefly resumed in July of the same year for an additional four days of re-shoots and pick-ups.
The film was made to fill a gap in Totality Pictures' schedule after their previous production, another horror movie called 'Panic Attack', was temporarily put on hold.
Because of a crucial plot point, lead actor Noel Aungier had to spend 95% of the shoot crawling on the ground.
Producer-director Peter Bergin penned the script during an intense five-day writing marathon. He also maintained a comprehensive 'making of' journal for the duration of the production.
As written in the script, the Drifter was initially supposed to carry a wooden staff. This was later discarded when it was decided it wouldn't look good if the Drifter was chasing the fleeing car in the opening scene while holding something in his hand. The wooden staff, however, appears briefly in another scene, which was shot long before the decision to discard it had been made.
