• The film is based on the novel of the same name by John Brosnan.
• This picture is a blatant, cheap imitation of Steven Spielberg's 'Jurassic Park' (1993).
• Instead of using CGI technology, Roger Corman made do with miniature dinosaur models and outdated animation.
• With a budget of $1 million, the film grossed exactly that amount in the United States.
• Interestingly, Laura Dern, the daughter of Diane Ladd, starred in "Jurassic Park" in the same year (1993).
• The protagonists of the original novel are a couple of journalists in love, while the film’s protagonists are a caretaker and an environmental advocate who are not in love with each other.
• In the novel, the main villain is a man, while in the film, the villain is a woman.
• The storyline concerning the mass infection of women was completely absent in the novel.
• Initially, the novel attributes the killings to a snow leopard. In the film, a bobcat is named as the killer.
• In total, Diane Ladd was involved in filming this movie for five days.
• Some characters were named after real people: Dr. Jane Tiptree – James Tiptree Jr. (the pseudonym of writer Alice Bradley); "Doc" Smith – Edward E. Smith (who was known as "Doc").
• The film was shot in 18 days.
• The number of deaths in the film: 32.
