- QuizWes Craven compared his work with actor Ernest Borgnine to John Carpenter's work with Donald Pleasance in the original Halloween - La notte delle streghe (1978). He states that Borgnine was the first "big name actor" he had worked with and was at first intimidated by the actor.
- BlooperThe cult members only accuse female characters of being the Incubus. In folklore, however, an Incubus is an exclusively male demon, the counterpart to the exclusively female Succubus. **The "incubus" in this case actually was a man, who was living as a woman, so this isn't entirely a goof.**
- Citazioni
[in reference to Martha's land]
Vicky Anderson: If I owned a piece of property like this and I kicked the bucket, my parents would start building condos on it on the way home from the funeral!
- Curiosità sui creditiThe end credits start rolling before the narrator's dialogue is finshed.
- Versioni alternativeIn the British version, to avoid what they might call confusion, they omitted the "finale" in which the incubus ascends from hell. This version runs 98 minutes.

Recensione in evidenza
A group of Hittites have been terrorizing their non-Hittite neighbours in an attempt to run them off their land, so that they can seize it for themselves.
The Hittites are an extreme religious sect that, "make the Amish look like swingers".
They shun anyone who does not follow their hardline path, calling them serpents, while claiming that all non-Hittite women are incubus.
When one of their own leaves the group to pursue an education in the city, and returns with a beautiful wife to claim his inheritance, and farm the land with modern methods...it is no coincidence that he winds up murdered.
However, the death doesn't stop there.
One of the Hittite boys with developmental disabilities also winds up dead, when he is caught peeping on the women next door.
It seems that something more supernatural may be afoot when doors start being slammed by unseen forces, and the women are tormented by snakes and spiders.
The question now, is, whether a murderer might be running rampant, or if some sort of Hittite golem been unleashed?
Perhaps the answer isn't so simple.
Things are left ambiguous enough to keep you guessing...as people continue to die.
And the culprits may just be the ones you least expect.
The truth is revealed in an obvious case of foreshadowing, but they leave enough room for reasonable doubt to keep you questioning things.
While an unexpected twist is spun in at the end to throw you for a loop.
All in all, it's an entertaining little horror mystery with a lot of twists and turns.
And the women are all total babes.
6.5 out of 10.
