Trivia
A then-unknown John Larroquette provided the narration in the original Massacre à la tronçonneuse (1974). Despite becoming a distinguished actor in the years since, he happily agreed to reprise his role for the remake.

Goofs
The young group is listening to "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd in the van at the beginning of the film. The film takes place between 18 and 20 August 1973. The song was not released until 1974, featured on the band's album, "Second Helping".

Quotes
Sheriff Hoyt: I smell bullshit.

Alternate versions
Originally was slapped with an 'NC-17' rating by the MPAA, cuts were made for an 'R'.
Hitchhiker's gunshot suicide reduced blood and brain guts, and a severed ear landing on Pepper's lap.
Morgan's death reduced a wide shot of chainsaw cutting him from below, blood splattering on the floor and his insides falling between his legs.

They don't make them like this anymore

For a slasher horror movie, it has everything - group of friends, iconic killer, interesting kills, creepy atmosphere and jump scares. Plus, there is a great cinematography, acting is good, and it doesn't look cheap. I think it's very underrated, people are expecting Oscar worthy movie for a slasher. It isn't and it isn't trying to be. Along with Wrong turn, Jeepers Creepers, it's a classic slasher horror movie of the early 2000s. I remember watching these and many other horrors in the early 2000s with friends, renting dvd movies all summer and watching together... it was so much fun. Unlike movies today (neither better nor worse), that recognizable vibe of the movies 15-20 years ago is lost, but not forgotten.
