- TriviaAlthough the film credits "Meredith Lucas" and "Susan Dicken" as director and writers, the film was written and directed by MIchael A. Lucas, who in an interview later claimed to have used women pseudonyms "in hopes that [the film] would be taken as a sufficiently serious, though rather muddled, feminist statement. I was hoping that so doing might make distribution to the art house circuit viable: even though playing the St. Francis Cinema on Market Street would have been personally gratifying, I knew that the production values I could afford would be unacceptable to the action/horror/exploitation houses, and that the only way this would ever get seen was as an indie/art movie."
Lucas originally intended to have a friend play the part of Meredith for public appearances and shot some "making of" promo footage but later decided to spread a rumor that she had committed suicide because having someone impersonate his non-existent sister "wound up being seeming like too much trouble when the film wasn't getting any real distribution, so I went with the despondent director's suicide so that it wouldn't be necessary to produce her."

Featured review
Very mixed feelings about this film
OK, where to begin....
First of all, this is obviously not a "good" movie, at least in the classical sense of the word. The editing, plot progression, narrative style, acting, and screenplay are all incredibly lacking. Meredith Lucas' lack of directorial experience is very clear in these areas.
However, I still found the film to be very enjoyable. The cast is fantastic, the soundtrack is amazing, and the photography is much better than one would expect from such a low-budget venture. And if you watch this as a b-movie rather than a serious artistic piece, it's actually quite funny.
Ultimately, this is a great example of a film that just didn't live up to its potential. It could have been enormously helped by removing a few scenes, re-editing a few existing ones, and making more dialogue to make the plot less narration-reliant. It also could have benefitted from an acting coach, although I suppose the bungled lines just add to its kitschy charm....
Anyway, in spite of its many faults, this is still a very enjoyable film, provided you watch it in the right mindset.
