Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original screenplay differed greatly from the final draft. According to screenwriter Ian Stuart, besides being a much darker more serious movie; the "trogs" were supposed to be entirely in the mind of the "Jamie" character. These changes were supposedly made by director Lew Lehman.
- Goofs(at 1:21:25, 1:22:35, 1:25:05) A filter is placed over the camera lens in order to show the Trog's vision. However, on the right hand side of the screen, the edges of the filter are clearly visible, revealing the normal coloring.

This kid is creepy not autistic
The description on the box said our protagonist is autistic and taunted by other children, which would surely make him a very sympathetic character. However after watching the film, either the box was in error or the writers didn't know anything about autism. The character displays no symptoms of autism, but instead just appears to be a very creepy and disturbed kid. There are a couple of kids that make fun of him, but other than that the movie revolves mostly around his peering in windows at naked women and luring people to this pit in the woods. Instead of feeling sorry for him, you want just want him to die.
