    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Tom Savini said in an interview that the corpses in the film were made using plastic skull kits which were glued to bodies built of chicken wire and painted cotton. The faces were created by taking plaster castings of various relatives of the crew, including producer Tom Karr's wife.
    • Goofs
      When Ezra is feeding Ma Cobb, she begins spewing blood from her mouth and nose. She turns her head slightly, and you can see the tube where the blood is coming out of.
    • Quotes

      Ma Cobb: Remember what I've always told you: The wages of sin is gonorrhea, syphilis, and death.

    • Alternate versions
      The UK cinema version was heavily cut for gore and violence, and the 1998 Exploited video release was cut by 18 secs by the BBFC to remove shots of bloodstained breasts from the gutting of a woman's body during the climax of the film. The 2013 UK blu-ray release by Arrow is the full uncut version, with all previous BBFC cuts waived.

    Fun, but NOT for the whole family
    If you can stomach the plot of this movie, then I think that it's fair to say that you will like it. The bloodshed is kept to a minimum (considering the subject matter), but the film should still probably be avoided if you are squeamish or easily offended. However, for people like me who can enjoy a warped sense of humour and don't mind a little gore, it's a pleasant way to spend some time.
