| Trivia | This film attempts (and is mostly successful in doing so) to exploit the Pulfrich effect to provide a 3-D experience. To see this, use a pair of glasses with the right lens much darker than the left. These are available for other videos or they can be made by removing the left lens from a pair of sunglasses. Some clever camera work and choreography that keeps the foreground moving to the right and the background moving left makes this possible. See more » |
| Goofs | At c. 53:00 into the film, Utterson says he would recognize the exact details of the ornate head of Blake's cane. However, he has only seen this cane for a fraction of a second at nighttime, when it was used to assault him earlier in the film. See more » |

Dr. Charles Marlowe:
The face of evil is ugly to look upon. And as the pleasures increase, the face becomes uglier. See more » |
