Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was one of Chuck Norris's rare forays into horror territory, reportedly made to capitalize on the slasher boom without abandoning his action brand.
The film awkwardly straddles three trends: Norris's martial arts dominance, the post-Halloween slasher craze, and the Frankenstein-science-gone-wrong paranoia of the early '80s. It satisfies none completely.
