Tagline: Six strangers have the chance to make $1,000,000 EACH. All they have to do is make it through the night alive.
Trivia: The inscriptions on the walls and doors in the hospital are all in German, but do not make any particular sense when translated. The inscription “Gehirn Hygiene” for example is a rough translation of the English “brain sanitation” into German. Maybe the German inscriptions were just supposed to add a more gothic atmosphere to the movie, but quite certainly they are also a reference to an old German Horror movie Schloß Vogeloed (1921) directed by F.W. Murnau, which also deals with a haunted manor.
Goofs: Errors in geography: The film is set in L.A. At the end of the movie, the sun is shown rising over the ocean (some have argued that the time is uncertain and that it could just as easily be sunset).
“When an eccentric millionaire offer a group of opposites $1,000,000 to spend the night in a so called “Haunted House” with a murderous past, they figure it is a quick way to get quick money and leave. All of them are sure it is some made up story just to mess with their heads a little and test their courage. But, once they stay in the house they start to think about the mistake they made in coming there when mysterious things start to happen. Written by Kyle <Kyleshivers@aol.com>”
