Trivia

When actor Joel David Moore vomits on screen, it is real. Director Adam Green did not want the actors spitting out fake vomit like most films do. Though Joel managed to throw-up on his own for the first take, he was supplied with a mixture of cold clam chowder and orange juice for the second take.

Goofs

When the older man get his leg bitten by an alligator as the tour boat is sinking, one of the girls makes the comment that with his blood in the water, the area will become an alligator feeding frenzy. However, alligators don't hunt by blood scent, as sharks do, so the man's blood in the water would make no difference.

Shawn takes the group to the tour on a bus which leaves the French Quarter in daylight. Enough time passes that the sun goes down, signifying they've been driving a while. Shawn then directs their attention to a passing cemetery which he claims is Saint Louis Cemetery #1 and which he says houses the tomb of Marie Laveau - except that cemetery is back in the French Quarter, just a couple of blocks' walk away from where the tour bus departed.

What are the differences between the r-rated and unrated version?

In the USA two versions of the movie have been released: An r-rated and unrated version. To avoid an NC-17 rating some of the violent scenes had to be trimmed down. The unrated version is uncut. A detailed comparison between both versions can be found here.

Is this based on the book Hatchet?

No, the book is about wilderness survival, however this is a slasher film.
