Following its release, various critics and moviegoers concluded that the film was loosely inspired by the 1990 police manhunt of Dennis DePue. That year, DePue had been caught dumping his dead wife's body behind an abandoned schoolhouse in the state of Michigan by brother-and-sister Ray and Marie Thornton. The case was later publicized, appearing on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries on March 20, 1991. The following day, DePue committed suicide after being involved in a shootout with police in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The episode's depiction of the event, along with other small details, was found to be similar to the opening scene of the film. However, the film's writer and director, Victor Salva, has not confirmed nor denied whether the film took inspiration from the case, but instead said that the film used elements from films such as Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Duel (1971).
