Production

Filming began in April 1999 in Limerick.[2] The budget was reportedly IR£1.6 million.[3] Most of Corman's films of the 1990s went straight to video but he wanted this one released theatrically.[4]

A mansion in Galway was built for the film especially. Corman intended to use this to film a remake of The Hound of the Baskervilles[5] but it was never made.
