Victoria Dempsey: She kept covering her eyes, whispering "please take me home, please take me home, please take me home..." a week later I got her outta there and I brought her home... but she just kept repeating it. At that point I realised... she didn't mean OUR home.
Trivia: The film was intended to be released theatrically in 2007. However, the film was pulled shortly before release without any explanation. While it was occasionally screened at festivals in the meantime, it wasn't given any sort-of official release until 2014, when it was briefly available as a "video on demand" title through cable provider "DirecTV." It was finally released on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2017 by specialty distributor Shout Factory... ten full years after it was originally supposed to come out.
