A good portion of the film was shot at The Glen Tavern Inn, whose motto is "Where the Past Comes to Life," because the dead reportedly maintain a vivid presence at the hotel.

Vinnie Jones, known for playing angry brutes, plays a Bowie-knife wielding crime lord.

Much of the film was shot at the Tudor-style getaway "The Glen Tavern Inn" in Santa Paula, California. Ironically, the hotel's motto is "Where the Past Comes to Life," with the dead reportedly maintaining a vivid presence at the Inn. The Glen Tavern is a favorite of paranormal aficionados who claim it is one of the most haunted venues in the region, and in July 2007, the Ventura Paranormal Society held its annual convention there. Ghost anecdotes abound as believers in the uncanny report encounters with long expired guests who for unknown reasons prefer to extend their stays indefinitely. The Glen Tavern Inn regularly hosts paranormal conferences, and also serves as the headquarters for The American Paranormal Research Association (A.P.R.A). Quite a fitting set for a film about an avenging archangel!

In 2013, the inn was featured on an episode of Ghost Adventures with special guests Brit Morgan and Mimi Page.

Film entirely on location in the city of Santa Paula, California.

Danny Trejo plays not only a leading role but the male protagonist among a bad batch of conniving criminals. He also wields his signature machete, perhaps an ode to his signature role, "Machete."
