Removed a reference under Dawson Casting to Galadriel Steinman being in her "late 20s or early 30s" during production, since she's only 33 now (eight years after release and about a decade after filming).

Meaghan Martin (Jess) would've been around 21/22 whereas the two of the other lead actresses were all in their mid-twenties; while Brett Dalton, Rami Malek, and Noah Fleiss were all in their 30s and Galadriel Stineman was either in her late 20s or early 30s. Even with their CGI avatars being de-aged, Mike and Chris in particular still look like guys in their late 20s, not teenagers.

** The original version of the game was a fair bit {{camp}}ier; among other things, the main characters were explicitly specified as being teenagers, the opening cinematic implied that they were heading into the mountains [[ExtremeSportExcusePlot [[ExtremeSportsPlot to go snowboarding]], and DeathBySex appeared in the trailers.[[note]]The DeathBySex trope and the campiness actually remains intact, as the demo featuring Mike & Jessica from the original version still exists in this version, just updated.[[/note]] When they moved the game to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, the developers decided that, if this game was going to be a showpiece for the new hardware, they might as well make a serious horror game. Many of the characters in the final game existed in some form early on, though Mike's name was originally Scott, Emily's was Christina (or Chrissy), Jessica's was Summer, and Josh's was Clayton (and [[RaceLift he was also black]]), and there were also characters named Devin, MJ, Belle, and Emi (who, beyond the name and ethnicity, seemed to have nothing in common with the Emily from the final game). Hannah was originally Clayton's girlfriend as opposed to his sister, with the two of them having broken up that fateful weekend for reasons unknown, while her sister's name was Lex instead of Beth. Unlike the final game, there seemed to be {{Plotline Death}}s, as evidenced when the player is allowed to restart after failing to PressXToNotDie.

** ''Film/EvilDead2'': Mike and Jess' diversion to the cabin in the woods, followed by Jess being attacked and pulled out through a window, is very similar to the opening scenes with Ash and his girlfriend, Linda.
*** Similarly, Mike can amputate part of his body. Although, luckily for him it's just his fingers and not his entire hand.

** The game was originally announced for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, and would've used the Move [[{{Waggle}} motion control system]] that Sony was promoting at the time. At least one early build also had pass-and-play multiplayer. It was nearing completion when it was decided to retool it for next-gen consoles. The cast was almost completely replaced at that time, with only Brett Dalton returning when the production moved to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4.
