This independently made film was picked up for a wider distribution by Roger Corman. Due to its similarities with Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986), Corman decided to delay the film's American release (though it apparently did quite well in overseas markets). When the film finally got a wider release in its home country, it was marketed as a knock-off of The Silence of the Lambs (1991) (hence the Hannibal Lecter-esque mask on the cover). Due to the graphic content in the film, mainstream video rental stores refused to carry the uncut version. The film then fell into obscurity for many years until its creators regained its rights and gave it a remastered release.
Robert A. Burns was originally only hired to oversee the special effects. After the original lead actor dropped out, Burns gave a stellar on the spot audition and was immediately cast.
The film received its first ever theatrical screening at the 2017 Austin Film Festival with several cast and crew members in attendance.
