Question for Buddy G...


Hello Mr. Giovinazzo,

First, just wanted to say that, like you say, good or bad this movie really sticks with you. While I can't say it was a pleasant experience, I will say that I never thought of it as cheap or chintzy; while taking into account the roughness that comes with low-budget filming, I thought the acting was competent to very good, which to me is what made the movie. I saw this when Troma first released it on dvd almost 10 years ago and still remember it vividly, especially the end.

Regarding the end, is there anything you could tell us in regards to what was filmed and what was kept in the final release? I always heard that there was more to it ( such as when you put the baby into the oven - the rumor is that there is a scene showing it melting inside the oven, among other things) - is that true?
