Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Julian Beck (Reverend Kane) was a renowned avant-garde theater director who died of stomach cancer shortly after filming; his gaunt, skeletal appearance was not makeup.
The film awkwardly pivots from the first's suburban materialism critique to a Native American spiritualism vs. Christian evil framework—without much self-awareness about whose stories it's telling.
