Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Buried by its distributor Orion Pictures, this film exemplifies how 1980s studios mishandled female-directed thrillers—marketed as sleaze, actually feminist horror.
The department store scenes were filmed at Kaufmann's in Pittsburgh during actual business hours; some terrified shoppers weren't extras.
