The original cut of the film, titled "The Weekend it Lives", was supposedly more of a comic-horror parody than straight horror. When York Entertainment picked up the home video rights, eleven years later, in 2003, they drastically re-cut the film. Scenes are now incomplete, out of order, or missing entirely leaving much of the film incoherent. No one knows if any prints of the original version still exist.
The movie, originally titled 'The Weekend It Lives', had a very short theatrical run in Baltimore, Maryland in 1992, before falling into complete obscurity. Eleven years later, in 2003, the film was recut, retitled, and re-released straight to video and DVD.
Was reviewed by Marcus Turner from The Cosmonaut Variety Hour's episode, 'The Worst Horror Movie Ever Made'.
The majority of the cast consisted of friends of Michael Mfume from his alma mater, Morgan State University.
Michael Mfume is the son of notable United States Representative, Kweisi Mfume.
