Anecdotes
When released in America, the film was edited down for time, and the voices of the entire cast were dubbed by other actors (with the exception of Susan Penhaligon as her contract included a dubbing clause, allowing her to loop her lines with an American accent). This angered Robert Helpmann so much that he attempted to take legal action against the US distributors.

Gaffes
After the doctor attempts to give Patrick a lethal injection, he is hit in the head by a potted plant. Immediately after this, he picks up a chair to strike Patrick and is thrown back against the wall, which is shown to bounce back.

Crédits fous
The end credits play over Patrick lying in his hospital bed with his eyes open.

Versions alternatives
Original Australian version features a music score by Brian May; European version was re-scored by Italian rock group Goblin, partly using outtakes from their score for a TV series for director Dario Argento.

Australian Horror

Another cult classic from the land of Australia. This is a good one to have on the shelf of your movie collection, but it'll probably collect a fair bit of dust. It is good but a bit boring. It seems to drag on for too long until the ultimate climax. Patrick proves to be interesting and new but fails a few too many times along it's way for the quest.

Good enough for a one watch trick, but anything after that might as well just skip to the last 20 or so minutes. Interesting and surprisingly original with its concepts and also relatively well made considering its budget. Not Australia's best, but a good cult classic to have in your ultimate, but not essential, collection of movies.
