Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Apparently the Estate Agent's death was originally longer and nastier and included eye gouging, a Fulci trait. This was cut because Lucio Fulci didn't think the effects were realistic enough. more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the scene were Laura Gittleson - the real estate agent is killed by Dr Freudstein, we see her body lying on the floor with her eyes closed and her mouth open. A few moments later we see Freudstein drag her into the basement and her eyes are now open, but her mouth is closed. Then later, when we see her hanging in the basement near the end of the film, her eyes and mouth are both open. more
Quotes:
[Ann is kneeling on the floor, mopping up a huge pool of blood]
Lucy Boyle: What are you doing?
Ann, the babysitter: I made coffee.

Shut up Kid!, 9 May 2002
6/10
Author: Aaron1375 from Alabama

I relize it isn't the kid's fault, but I am here to tell you the voice he is dubbed with is so annoying that it almost ruins the entire flick. Can't a more appropiate voice be found, one that sounds like a real child and not one of those really wealthy ones. Other than that this isn't that bad of a flick, but it definately has some flaws. The movie seems to point this way and that, there are a ton of questions like who is the killer, has the father been in the town before, who is the babysitter really, and others. Unfortunately, only one of these questions is answered in this flick and it is the killer. The rest goes unanswered and where as the unanswered questions work in "The Beyond" here you wonder why it is brought up in the first place if you are never going to find out. Also to all the people that talk about the baby sitter wiping up the blood, I do believe the mother thought the blood came from the dreaded bat attack. One thing I can't believe though is that this movie has a higher rating than "Zombie". Zombie just seems to me to be a more complete movie.
