- TriviaIvan Reitman took this film to Spain's International Horror Festival in November of 1973. Eugene Levy ended up winning the best actor award and Andrea Martin ended up winning best actress.
- GoofsThe opening scene shows a man killed and a woman threatened, but cuts away before the viewer can know her fate. Later a missing girl is mentioned, with no clues to her whereabouts. She never reappears and is never mentioned again.
- Crazy creditsIn the final credits, actor Gino Morocco's first name is misspelled "Gina", the feminine form.
- Alternate versionsTheatrical version distributed by AIP in the United States featured a "violence warning" gimmick, i.e. a horn sound played before violent sequences. This was not included in the Canadian theatrical version distributed by Cinepix. A bell rang to indicate the end of the violent scenes. This version is offered as a bonus audio track on the current DVD and Blu-Ray releases.
Featured review
Canadian Cannibals
The film is about a couple, played by young Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin in their pre-SCTV days, that rent a room in a small town called Farnhamville. It is here in this rather desolated, out-of-the-way town that the two hear about an old legend about three cannibal girls and their atrocious murdering. It turns out, of course, that the legend is in fact reality and not so old as explained. The film has some bright spots including some humorous touches added by the performances of the two leads. Reitman, yes that is right...Reitman the director of such blockbusters as Ghostbusters, creates a pretty good atmosphere of bleakness especially in the town scenes.
Considering the budget used, this is a pretty good cheap thriller high on atmosphere and low on plot. The story is weird...to put it bluntly. There is a goodly amount of gore and red blood as well to contribute to the atmosphere. The sets are cheap, the film quality is cheap, the acting unknown even to this day aside from the two leads, and the story is inane. Nonetheless I can think of worse ways to waste 90 minutes, so if you get the chance...take a peek and see if your curiosity is peaked.
