- Quotes
Dr. Elizabeth Derby: No, wait. I was in your body.
Asa Waite: I was in yours.
Dr. Elizabeth Derby: No, no, I don't mean it like that. I mean, my, my mind was in your body.
Asa Waite: Well, I guess then, if anybody ever tells you to go fuck yourself. You tell them you have.
- Crazy creditsOne of the credits is, "Filmed In Cthulhuscope." While the viewer might consider this a special film process, like CinemaScope, this is actually a portmanteau of Cthulhu and CinemaScope. Cthulhu is a fictional cosmic entity created by H. P. Lovecraft, used in various ways in many of his stories.

Featured review
Not as bad as I thought! Plus Points go to the Beautiful Heather Graham!
When I saw the metascore I was really excited for the film. But when I read the first bad user reviews, I lost my joy and avoided the film. Then came the evening when I had nothing interesting to watch and after much deliberation I decided to give the film a chance. And I have to say, the film pleasantly surprised me in some ways. Heather Graham alone is worth a look and if you know Heather Graham, you know she's not afraid to show a little more of herself. She is also beautiful to look at and for her age she can be seen in nude scenes.
I like actress Heather Graham and am always happy to see her in a film. She dares to do something, and if the script had a little more to offer, she could of course do more acting. Unfortunately, the story is not new and we already know it from some better horror films. Unfortunately you can't get much out of the story. If you know this beforehand, you can still watch the film once. The film seems rather exaggerated, funny and trashy Horror comedy with some sex scenes that don't blow you away, but are still worth a watch because of Heather Gramma. The actors put in a little effort, but that's enough for an H. P. Lovecraft adoption that feels more like a comedy. I would have liked a little more blood in this film! And I have to say that the film was my first H. P. Lovecraft film and I had a bit of fun for a horror movie night. In the end, I didn't care enough to watch the film. I was also impressed by Joy Lynch's film work! Her directing style suited the film...but I still would have liked a bit more of a '70s look.
