    • Trivia
      Director David Schmoeller was startled when the film received a PG rating despite its disturbing subject matter and what he perceived as graphic violence. Schmoeller stated in an interview with TerrorTrap.com that he felt the film would have been more commercially successful had it received an R rating.
    • Goofs
      In the scene where Mr. Slausen leaves Molly with the rifle in the truck, you can see a short male mannequin standing behind her in a sort of saloon setting. Thereafter any time you see her from the same shot, he's no longer there.
    • Quotes

      Eileen: Mr. Slausen, can I use your phone?

      Mr. Slausen: Oh sure, help yourself... but it doesn't work. I got nobody to call.

    • Crazy credits
      In the credits, Mr. Slausen is spelled differently than on all of the signs in the movie with his name.
    • Alternate versions
      The Blu-Ray releases from Full Moon Features in the United States and 88 Films in the United Kingdom are missing 5 minutes of footage.
    • Connections
      Featured in The Best of Sex and Violence (1982)

    The whole psychic powers thing seems tacked on and a touch unnecessary but it adds a WTF to the whole bizarre mannequin horror thing going on here. The characters are dim bulbs but there's enough creepiness and late 70's vibe to make this worth a watch. It's no Texas Chainsaw, but it's alright.
