While a casting director was easily found for Los Angeles, Canadian casting directors proved to be appalled by the horror, gore, and language. When one finally agreed to pick up the film, the Columbine shooting and another school shooting in Alberta suddenly thrust the public spotlight on violent teens.

    On the first day of shooting in the suburbs, all the stills photographs for the title sequence were created. The bloody, staged deaths drew a crowd and Fawcett worried about upsetting the neighbours. Each time they needed to change, someone had to distract the homeowner's four-year-old child. Long shooting days pushed the earliest possible start later each day until the scenes written for day were being shot after late into the night.

    The Director of Photography solved the problem by using diffusion gel and four eighteen kilowatt lamps which generated enough light to be seen a mile high in the sky. The special effects proved to be a major hardship as Fawcett eschewed CGI effects, and preferred to use more traditional means of prosthetics and make-up.

Critics who panned the film thought the puberty metaphor too obvious, the characters too over the top especially the mother , and the dark humour and horror elements unbalanced.
