Production 

Seizure is the directorial debut of Oliver Stone, who also co-wrote the screenplay. Star Mary Woronov would later claim that one of the film's producers was gangster Michael Thevis, who partially bankrolled the film in an attempt to launder money, as he was under investigation by the FBI. Release 

The film had a very limited release theatrically in the United States by Cinerama Releasing Corporation, playing on New York's 42nd street in 1974. The film was released on VHS by various video companies in the 1980s including Prism Entertainment. A transfer to DVD and Blu-ray was released on September 9, 2014, by Scorpion Releasing. See also
