• The film was originally intended to be titled “Revenge on the Housatonic River,” where filming took place, but the title was later changed.
• The film is banned from distribution in Belarus.
• At the beginning of the film, during a car ride, Jennifer's glasses are up, but in the next shot she is already wearing them.
• According to Jeff Branson (who played Johnny), the cast and crew, along with Sarah Butler (who played Jennifer), agreed that if she used a specific stop word during the shooting of the rape scene, filming would stop immediately. The stop word was never used during filming.
• The final version of the shooting script included a scene where Jennifer arrives at a house in the heart of the forest with a dog. This scene was decided against because renting a trained dog would have exceeded the film's budget. According to director Steven R. Monroe, the cost of renting such a dog would have exceeded the fee of any of the actors in the film.
• Sarah Butler reluctantly took on the role because she herself never watches horror movies. Her agent persuaded the actress to agree (though not immediately).
• During the torture scene, Sarah Butler accidentally chipped a piece of Jeff Branson's tooth. Due to budget constraints, the film used real firearms (unloaded), not props.
• All the stunts in the film were performed by the actors themselves, with the exception of two that insurance companies refused to cover – Jennifer's jump from the bridge into the river and the fall of the character played by Chad Lindberg from the staircase.
• Instead of a snap that the main character dissolves in the bath to kill the character played by Rodney Eastman, they used tablets (alka-seltzer) ground into a powder.
