    Storyline

    • Trivia
      On the first night that the film crew arrived at the farm house location, an eerie fog rolled into the area. They quickly made use of this by shooting the outside of the house as this happened, and that footage was used for transitions throughout the film.
    • Goofs
      When Duncan hands Jessica the "mole" in the cemetery scene, it can be clearly seen that it is a field mouse and not a mole.

    slow moving, but worth it
    A intelligent depiction of a woman who knows that she may be schizophrenic, but has only her own perceptions upon which to rely, and perceives herself to be increasingly surrounded by the undead. While a bigger budget and today's technology might make this film more effective, and those who didn't endure or enjoy the period in which it was made will find it especially difficult to relate to the characters, this is a very fine film, and should be a source of continued pride for those involved in its making.
