Trivia
Dr. Warren Koven's name derives from two words related to witchcraft: a coven is an assembly of usually 13 witches, and a warren is a maze of small rooms where they might gather.

Goofs
When Bryan (Daly) goes down to the wine cellar and gets a bottle of wine (at about 45 min. mark), it appears to be a brown bottle with a white label. It looks the same when the scene shifts to him trying to open the trunk. But a few moments later, when the scene shifts to him sitting at the table eating, with the bottle of wine quite obvious, talking about "what's in the trunk"...the wine bottle is green with an obviously colorful label.

Skip It!

For those of you that caught Tim Daly in the NBC hit Wings or in his role as the leader of the Branch Davidians in the made for TV movie of the week; do yourself a favor with your hour and twenty minutes of free time.... SKIP THIS PIECE OF HORSE BLEEP. Tom Arnold and the chick from Avatar are the lone bright spots in this horrible production. IFC should've never green lit this film.

But of course if you are into predictable plot lines and shaky dialogue, then by all means this is the film for you. It also casts the guy from Richie Rich (they same dude that was the Dad in Gilmore Girls) yeah that guy as some Doctor who does stuff but doesn't reveal to Daly about other stuff and well you get the point.

SKIP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
