Trivia

This was originally titled 'Clive Barker's The Plague' but Barker disowned it after production disputes, leaving only his producer credit and zero creative control.

Cultural

Released straight-to-DVD during the mid-2000s horror boom, it became a forgotten curiosity—part of that weird era when every B-horror got a 'Clive Barker presents' tag to move units.
