Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Fritz Kiersch disowned the film, which is why 'Alan Smithee'—the official pseudonym for directors who want their name removed—appears on some prints.
This was Amanda Peterson's final film role before she left Hollywood; she tragically died in 2015, making this oddball thriller an unintentionally poignant footnote.
