Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director Jay Alaimo never directed another feature after this; Thora Birch fired her own father/manager during production for being 'overbearing.'

Cultural

This arrived at the corpse-end of the erotic thriller boom, when direct-to-video releases like this kept the genre on life support.
