    • Trivia
      Only 3 rooms had additions outside of the natural setting for atmosphere, the kitchen had meat hooks hung, the tunnel had plastic surgical gloves hung up, and the hydrotherapy room had a metal tub added. Almost everything else related to the asylum setting was found on site as the crew scoured the building for set dressing to keep things authentic. The filmmakers even reported finding old patient tissue and blood samples on the premises, which they did not film out of fear.
    • Goofs
      At the very end of this movie there's a typo in the copyright notice. The word motion, as in motion picture, is spelled "motin".
    • Quotes

      Gordon: You!

      [points at Phil]

      Gordon: You come with *me.*

      Phil: Hey!

      [points back at Gordon]

      Phil: Fuck *youuuu.*

    • Alternate versions
      The US DVD contains an additional subplot that was removed from the final cut of the film. A homeless woman resides in Danvers State Hospital, and watches the crew go about their business. Initially presented as a menacing "being", shown as collecting objects (rubbish, leaves, insects) in threes in a room, she then becomes more and more human through the film. The crew observe things to give her presence away. She witnesses their murders, and becomes scared. She then kills Gordon at the end in retribution. Unfortunately, it is badly cut, and shows at several points during the film.

    Gets under your skin
    Everything about this movie impressed me. The script was lean and inventive, the direction stylish without being overblown, the acting top notch. Even the shot-on-video cinematography looked great (with the exception of one or two exterior shots that had a hint of video look to it, most everything else was "filmic" and artistic).

    I also appreciate any horror movie that can generate real tension and suspense from imagination and suggestion rather than relying on lame and lazy tricks that populate most horror movies (if something as limp as Urban Legends can be called a horror movie).

    First rate film and I recommend to anyone who appreciates a thinking-man's horror film.
