Much like Blair Witch Project, the filmmakers attempted to maintain the documentary façade. The director instructed the cast of unknowns to avoid press. Italian authorities suspected that there was actual foul play involved in the making of the film and investigated.

The slasher genre was still relatively new, and few movies up to this point were filmed with as much "realism" as this one.

Love that the director was suspected of murder until he had to physically bring the cast in.
