    • Trivia
      The maggot-covered head found by Gary the caretaker is actually the head of the director, Christian Viel.
    • Goofs
      When Shae is hitting the mutant with an ax, she is having flashbacks of all the characters that were killed. However, the Jenny character is in there too and Jenny and Shae never met in the movie.
    • Quotes

      Gary: Tell the kids to stick to the path. Bad things happen when you stray from the path!

    • Crazy credits
      On the very first prints screened to the public there was no post-production work done at the time and those credits were left blank.
    • Alternate versions
      Much of the movie has been re-shot with no input from writer/director/producer Christian Viel. However a bootleg DVD of Christian Viel's rough cut has been circulating on the internet since 2003. This bootleg version has nudity and some very graphic gore that was removed from the final version.

    Evil Breed: Where aged porn stars go to die.
    Two teachers (Bobbie Phillips and Howard Rosenstein) chaperon a school trip to Ireland so five students can study the history of Druids or some such nonsense. A forest-dwelling mutant shows up to kill them all off. The director of this cheap-looking and disposable hunk-o-junk claims the film was ruined by studio tampering, unwanted script rewrites and such, so I'm tempted to cut him a little slack because these things are known to happen. As the film now stands, it's close to being unwatchable.

    Truly terrible in every regard; barely (just barely) kept afloat by ample doses of gore and T&A. The acting is some of the worst I've ever seen. Literally everyone in the cast is embarrassing. I don't think that has anything to do with tampering, just a combination of amateur actors, a director that doesn't know how to work with them and awkward dialogue that's impossible to say without coming off like a total tool. Richard Grieco, who looks like he's had either one face-lift too many or too much botox pumped into his face and is starting to look rather inhuman these days, is falsely advertised as being one of the leads when his part is minuscule. The other names in the cast you'll probably only be familiar with if you're an avid porn viewer. Jenna Jameson pops up for a couple of minutes to say a few lines and die. Ginger Lynn has more screen time and delivers one of the worst Irish accents known to man. Not that the guy cast alongside her, whose overacting is unintentionally hilarious, is any better. There are a few other adult actresses on the payroll but their screen time is even smaller than Jennas.

    Even worse than the acting is the writing. The storyline is muddled as hell and incomprehensible, the editing is choppy, characters disappear right and left for no reason whatsoever and it is overloaded with annoying, childish and lame post-SCREAM hipster dialogue about how big breasted women always die in horror films and such. Even the friggin theme song at the beginning is screwed up! The vocalist actually MISPRONOUNCES the word "Samhain;" pronouncing it exactly how it's spelling instead of "Sow-en!" For the love of God, do some research people! Some of the gore effects are decent, but you have to be very forgiving of complete technical ineptitude to tolerate this mess.
