    • Trivia
      The mental institution scenes were filmed at the Northampton State Hospital, an actual asylum in Northampton, Massachusetts, which was abandoned at the time.
    • Goofs
      During sentencing, the judge tells Vivian "the State of Massachusetts has declared you insane," thus making him ineligible for the death penalty. In legal parlance, Massachusetts is always referred to as a Commonwealth, and does not practice the death penalty.

    Why, Why, Why, would they do this???
    To say this film was the worst movie I've seen this year would be an understatement. It's one of the worst films of all time, if not, at least of the 90's. I started off not interested about ten minutes in. Then it became worse and worse. The overflowing apples " Oh my god!", and I use full sarcasm. The acting wasn't good, the story tried too hard to be involved and be one of those films where the twists are so shocking, your eyes glaze over. It succeeded in the sense that my eyes glazed over. I stared at the screen in full awe of the utter crap i had actually rented. I feel I should send a receipt to the film company that made this film and demand my money back. It also tries to have scenes where you cheer or are frightened, well when those came... I, oh wait, I was laughing my @$$ off!! It's under my least favorites with Batman and Robin, and Anaconda. Maybe I'm being too harsh... nope!!!
