This film was completed in 1988 with the title Catacombs, but when its intended distributor went out of business, the film was not released. The film debuted on video and laser disc in 1993 with the title Curse IV: The Ultimate Sacrifice in an attempt to capitalize on the mild success of the Curse films. This however, is illogical, as the film was made before both Curse II: The Bite (1989) and Curse III: Blood Sacrifice (1991).
The sequence with the statue of Christ coming to life cost five thousand dollars to do.
This movie was shot in twenty days: Ten days were done in a studio and the other ten days were filmed on location in a monastery in Terni, Italy.
Despite Trans World Entertainment going out of business before they could release the film to video, they did release some screener tapes of the film to various retailers and critics, with the intention of releasing it to retail in September of 1989.
David Schmoeller co-wrote the script under the pseudonym Giovanni Dimarco.
"Brother Timothy: And I also managed to procure a pope's skull, just like the one in Brother Orsini's office Brother Martino: Which pope is yours? Brother Timothy: Why, Pope Paul the Eighth, of course. Brother Martino: That's impossible; the one in Brother Orsini's office is the skull of Pope Paul the Eighth. Brother Timothy: So? What's your problem? Brother Martino: How can there be two skulls of the same pope? Brother Timothy: Why bless you, it's perfectly simple. The pope's skull in Brother Orsini's office belonged to Pope Paul the Eighth when he was an 86 year old man; and mine is of Pope Paul the Eighth when he was only 65. Brother Martino: Oh! I see. Brother Timothy: Brother Martino, sometimes you are as slow as you are short."
