    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Because of its tight shooting schedule and low budget the production couldn't afford to have snow created for the exterior scenes. Instead, it was decided to have rain outside throughout the film for a more moody atmosphere. A fire hose had to be used to create the rain for the outdoor scenes, which is why in some shots the sky is obviously clear even though it's supposed to be raining.
    • Goofs
      The aftermath of the major thunder and lightning storm and high winds leaves no trace of downed branches, leaves, or even puddles around the country house.
