Three sugar glass bottles were used for the scene where actor Bill Barber is hit in the head with a beer bottle.
It took three months to complete the interior cave. It was built from chicken wire, burlap bags, and drywall. After the Spider Cave sequence was shot the cave was repainted gold for the climax. A miniature cave was also built for the explosion sequence.
Filming began in 2007 and lasted until 2011.
The film was shot on DV camcorders.
