    • Trivia
      For more than two decades, the movie was almost better known as the "lost Carpenter film" due to its scarce availability on home video. Contrary to many countries in Europe where the movie actually got released on VHS, there has never been an official VHS release in America. Warner Bros. finally released it on DVD in 2007.
    • Quotes

      Leigh Michaels: [taps Paul's leg] Just testing.

      Paul Winkless: Uh-huh, what are you testing?

      Leigh Michaels: I have strange fears.

      Paul Winkless: Really? What?

      Leigh Michaels: Being raped by dwarves. You could've been sitting up there on stilts, I, I had to check.

    This movie made me an all time Carpenter fan.
    I never expected that a TV movie like this early work from John "Thrillmaster" Carpenter could be thrilling and excellent as this one was made. Thanks Mr Carpenter. Excellent entertainment and terrific conclusion.
