Trivia:

As the cast members testified during a special screening in New York (during the fall of 2007), most of the crew spoke only Italian, causing many doubts about how the movie would work. Furthermore, the director insisted that the lines in the script be recited verbatim.

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: Many shadows from cameras and cameramen are casts on people, such as citizens during the party scene, Holly's back in the séance scene, on Joshua in the beginning scene, etc.

Quotes:

Joshua: Grandpa! Are you really in Hell?
Seth: No! But I know a trick that a friend of mine who went there taught me!

Forced to watch!

My sister made me watch this. She insisted it was a contagion, a disease she was compelled to spread. After seeing it, I truly understand, relate, and recommend.

It's awful! But a transcendent awfulness...you want to pass it around like milk that might be spoiled, but everyone needs to test it anyway.

I've never laughed so much at something that isn't even trying to be remotely comedic; it's a travesty.

I'm not surprised there are drinking games built around it, but you'll be more than amused watching it sober.Yes, it's that bad! But fun - you want to see it over and over again, and force other people to watch it too. Rent it on a particularly bad day: you'll forget everything irritating in your life, and be weirdly involved in a world of badly-clad midgets; suddenly wondering if baloney sandwiches or urine could possibly be the solution... If you vote, give it a one - it truly deserves the recognition of being one of the worst movies ever.
