Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in 1987 but shelved until 1989, this was one of John Ireland's final roles — a fittingly bizarre curtain call for a former Oscar nominee.
Part of a micro-wave of late-'80s slashers trying to differentiate through gimmicks; the 'killer as different characters' angle predates Wes Craven's New Nightmare by five years, though with significantly less ambition.
