Little is known about the film's production or availability, and it was described by writers Harvey Fenton and David Flint in Ten Years of Terror: British Horror Films of the 1970s (2001) as "an obscure film [that] has former Batman Adam West battling a Satanic cult who specialise in human sacrifice."[4] The film was shot in 16mm around 1972.
