Trivia

Director Jean-Marie Pallardy was a French exploitation veteran who often cast himself; here he plays Roberto, literally 'the killer.'

Cultural

This 1989 relic captures the tail end of Euro-cinema's obsession with American genre tropes—part French thriller, part Italian giallo cosplay, all VHS shelf filler.
