Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sparky Greene was primarily a music video director; this was his only feature film, shot in just 18 days on a shoestring budget in Mexico.
Released the same year as the Uruguayan Andes flight disaster film 'Survive!', this rode a wave of 70s-80s survival horror obsessed with cannibalism as the ultimate taboo test.
