Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Aftershock (2012)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Aftershock was based on the real 2010 magnitude-8.8 earthquake in Chile, and it was shot in Chile in many of the same locations where the actual destruction took place.
- Nicolás López had prior experience shooting on Digital SLR cameras and convinced Eli Roth, through screen tests, that with the right lenses and lighting it would look like 35mm film; the entire movie was recorded on a Canon EOS 5D camera.
- Aftershock initially received an NC-17 rating, and consequently had to be re-edited so that it would achieve an R rating.
