- TriviaDirector Danny Steinmann was upset with the final cut of the film because it missed most of the major scares. He had his name removed from the movie and was credited under the pseudonym "Peter Foleg".
- GoofsWhen Jennifer dislodges the power box, it short circuits and begins arcing over several inches. However, regular household power is 110/220 volts (the 220 being two independent 110-volt feeds). Under normal conditions, it takes approximately 1000 volts to arc one inch. Therefore, the voltage on the power box would have to be around 3-4000 volts in order to arc that far. Household power does not have the voltage necessary to produce a 3 to 4-inch arc.

Ernest Keller: I wonder what Junior's fate would be... I wonder... Seems obvious to me, my dear, they would not treat him so kindly. He would suffer greatly.

Ringo's wife meets Flounder
Since "The Unseen" is your basic B movie, the only reason to see it is that it stars Barbara Bach (Ringo Starr's wife), Stephen Furst (Flounder in "Animal House") and Sydney Lassick (Cheswith in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and also the principal in "Carrie"). No, seriously. That's the only reason to check it out: The Beatles, John Belushi and Stephen King are linked by a story of three women staying in a house inhabited by a carnivorous inbred! If only the founders of Solvang had predicted this! Sorry if I haven't done the greatest job describing the movie. It's just that a cast like this easily eclipses the movie, in my view. Granted, there are a few of the requirements for horror flicks, namely the bathtub scene. Otherwise, nothing significant here.
PS: Barbara Bach had previously starred in a similar movie with a similarly jaw-dropping cast. That movie was the Italian horror flick "L'isola delli uomini pesce" (called "Screamers" in the US), in which she co-starred with Mel Ferrer, aka Audrey Hepburn's ex. Yes, it's true. Ringo Starr's soon-to-be wife and Audrey Hepburn's ex co-starred in a movie about half-human, half-fish creatures.
