 The film was listed as one of the original DPP 74 UK video nasties. UK cinema  and video versions were cut by 1 min 9 secs by the BBFC to edit a knife being  traced across a womans body and a scene where a nurse is stabbed and kicked.  The uncut version was shown on ITV in 1989 by mistake and the company was  publicly rebuked by the Broadcasting Standards Council.
