Short description

When a tabloid reporter and his son travel to a quiet Midwestern town to investigate a gruesome massacre, they fall victim to a possessed orphan named Micah.

What's left behind the scenes

  • To film the tornado shown in the movie, smoke was pumped into a bathtub, then filmed upside down and played back at a reduced speed. The same technique was used in the science fiction film "Independence Day" (Roland Emmerich, 1996).
  • For the scene of nosebleed, tubes were used to deliver fake blood to the eyeglass frames, but these tubes were bent to make it appear as though the blood was coming from the nose.
  • The scene of Mr. Burke's death was filmed in a house whose owners were about to move, but they were persuaded to postpone their move for a week in order to film the necessary scene.
  • Terence Knox and Rosalind Allen, who played love interests on screen, felt no actual attraction to one another. The actress had to be persuaded for a long time to film an intimate scene with her partner; she eventually agreed, but only on the condition that the crew finish within three takes.
  • The town hall building that burned down in the fire was actually a house used for training by the local fire department.
  • The school scenes were filmed in a real school in August. The film crew was allowed to film there on the condition that the building would be renovated and everything broken or damaged during filming would be repaired before the start of the school year.
  • Terence Knox and Rosalind Allen, who played romantic interests, did not actually have feelings for each other. The actress had to be talked into filming an intimate scene with her partner for a long time, and eventually agreed, but only on the condition that the film crew complete it in three takes.
  • To film the tornado shown in the movie, smoke was pumped into a bathtub, and the scene was then filmed upside down and played back at a reduced speed. This same technique was used in the filming of the sci-fi movie 'Independence Day' (Roland Emmerich, 1996).
  • The film was shot in North Carolina. It took only 23 days to film, and the film cost only $800,000. North Carolina was chosen as the filming location due to the lack of labor laws, which allowed children to be kept on set late into the night.
