Anecdotes
The film's original director, Sean MacGregor, was fired from it after a few weeks of difficult filming and most of the footage that he had directed was considered to be unusable. As a result, much of its final version had to be redone under the direction of David Sheldon several weeks later.

Gaffes
The characters are supposedly stuck in the lodge because they are snowed in. However, the height of the snow outside keeps changing dramatically throughout the film. It is extremely snowy in the beginning when everyone arrives, almost snow-free when Papa Doc runs outside in a futile attempt to save his wife's life and finally, modestly snowy again at the end.

Grim and quirky

This is one of them seventies horror films your grandfather would tell you about while settling you down to sleep when you were a toddler. Five crazy kids escape from a mental institution and play the scared kid card at the house of Papa Doc, who is currently playing host to all sorts of unlikeable adults, so, basically, you can tell where this is heading. What got me about the Devil Times Five is the way that the first hour passes almost lightheartedly, before heading for Grimsville. When the kids start wasting the cast, a kind of darkness settles on the film and never let's up. I don't know if it's just the playful way the kids massacre people (hence the title: Peopletoys), but I was left with a bizarre bad taste in my mouth after watching this. I guess that's the whole point though. You don't really get that from watching modern splatterfests. This is seventies horror in a nutshell, this film.

Plus, for UK viewers, check the name of one of the producers of this film (the IMDb won't let me use his second name here). I bet he's glad he didn't go to school in Glasgow!
