Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Mark Jones also created Leprechaun, meaning this exists in the same cinematic universe of killer objects with inexplicable mobility.
The film's 5.4 rating is almost charitable — it was reportedly made for under $2 million and barely received theatrical distribution, existing mainly as a Blockbuster shelf curiosity.
