    • Trivia
      When Emerson Bixby began scripting, he originally envisioned Geoffrey Lewis as Dr. Russell. Malcolm McDowell ended up playing Dr. Russell, and Lewis was cast as Michael. Bixby had never mentioned writing a character for Lewis, whose subsequent casting was a coincidence.
    • Goofs
      At the very end of the film, after Dr. Russell screams in his padded cell, you can hear the director say "cut."
    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits is a scene of Dr. Russell going crazy in his padded cell.

    Fun trash

    Don't be fooled-- this is absolutely B-level schlock and I do not argue that this is some lost masterpiece. But I cannot deny it has a campy vibe that makes the whole thing fun, so long as you aren't expecting the psychological thriller promised by descriptions of the plot. Malcolm McDowell hams it up and the plot veers into bizarre territory. Not everyone will like it, but if you enjoy oddball cult fare and dark comedy, you might enjoy this.
