Production
The film was completely shot in Montréal, Québec[1] and actor Bruce Dern broke his leg on camera running in the woods, one week into the three-week shoot.[2] He finished the film on crutches and using various photo doubles and camera tricks.
Release
It premiered on April 17, 2008 as part of the Houston Film Festival[3] and was released on DVD by Genius Entertainment on April 7, 2009 with no special features.[4]
Reception
Justin Felix, of DVD Talk, said that if you like your horror cheap and dumb - and don't have access to the Sci-Fi Channel - then this is worth a rental.[5] Michael Simpson, of CinemaSpy, said that the film is a cheesy, predictable but entertaining chiller that isn't likely to scare the pants off anyone in their teens or older and that Winning's direction created enough suspense that such cliches were unnecessary.[6] A Fangoria review says that the film pulls no punches about what it is—a throwaway monster flick that borrows heavily from Swamp Thing and the vine-attack sequence from Evil Dead II.[7]
