Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Richard Ciupka and producer Peter Simpson fought so badly that Ciupka removed his name; the pseudonym 'Jonathan Stryker' is actually his own character's name from the film.
The film was shot in 1980 but shelved until 1983 due to reshoots by a second director, explaining the tonal whiplash between arty suspense and straightforward slasher.
