    • Trivia
      The film had never been picked up by a German distributor during its initial release phase. Finally, in 2012 it was released by Austrian label Shock Entertainment, which even created a German dubbing (in '70s style). In 2014 the film was released officially for the first time in Germany by Mad Dimension.
    • Goofs
      When Sirgurd swims to the surface and is helped onto the speedboat, he tosses the bomb and says "Let's go". However the boat is still anchored.
    • Alternate versions
      U.S. distributor Independent Artists released the film under the title "When the Screaming Stops," adding a "Shock Notice" gimmick where red warning flashes preceded each gory murder.

    Not That Bad
    Lots of gore. Pretty good storyline. Not the best acting ever but what do you expect from a film of this nature. I would recommend it to fans of horror.
