The film stars David Dukes in the lead role alongside Kelly Piper, Niall Toibin, Cora Venus Lunny and Donal McCann in supporting roles. The film was released limited in the United States by Empire Pictures on 17 April 1987, and the same year it was released on VHS and LaserDisc by Vestron Video. In October 1999 the film was released on DVD by Geneon, and received two further releases, on 29 July 2003 and on 17 October 2017 in 4K quality. A remake of the film was planned but later was cancelled due to Barker's involvement with the "Hellraiser" films.
