Wissenswertes
Despite having been completed, and having had its theatrical trailer attached to several widely-released horror films in 2007, the film was eventually pulled from release without any official explanation. It was later given its first official limited release seven years later in 2014, when it became available as a "Video on Demand" title through DirecTV. The film was finally granted a DVD and Blu-Ray release through Shout Factory three years later in late 2017- ten full years after its initial planned release.

Patzer
A police officer claims that a person has to be missing for 24 hours before filing a missing person's report. While this is a common myth and trope in film it is untrue.

Zitate
Victoria Dempsey: She kept covering her eyes, whispering "please take me home, please take me home, please take me home..." a week later I got her outta there and I brought her home... but she just kept repeating it. At that point I realized... she didn't mean OUR home.

Uh... No, it's NOT real.

An interview at the Tribeca Film Fest with director John Dowdle revealed - when asked if this movie is based on an actual killer in Poughkeepsie - that (and I quote): "It's actually a combination of a number of them, but there's one -- Edmund Kemper. He was a really, really scary guy and we took a lot of pieces from him and we took some from the Green River Killer. There was a guy in Chicago we took pieces from. There was a duo in Michigan who worked together and filmed everything they did, and we took some stuff from them. Some from Ted Bundy too. So we sort of combined a lot of different real stories. Remember that couple that kidnapped a 19-year old girl and kept her as a slave for six years? We took pieces of that as well." So all of you out there insisting that this is a true story about a Poughkeepsie killer who video-taped his murders are making fools of yourselves.
