"It works pretty well as erotic horror/fantasy. Yes, there are some quibbles. Some of the special effects seem a little cheesy now, in the age of computer graphic effects. But, hey, it was 1982. A couple of times it was obvious that a character had jumped down and walked backward, and then the film ran in reverse to make the movements look more feline. Malcolm Mc Dowell came across as creepy and menacing, as usual. I had forgotten how beautifully doe-eyed an sylph-like Nastassja Kinski looked in this. And Annette O'Toole was great as the contrasting but lovely every-girl...."

Malcolm McDowell (Paul) revealed that the scene where he leaps on the bed in a cat like fashion was shot with him jumping off the bed, and walking backward all the way out of the room and down the stairs. The film was then reversed. This technique was presumably also used for the scene where Paul executes a kick-up from the floor, then jumps to the balcony rail before dropping to the ground to pursue Irena.
