Development

Director Patrick Regan co-wrote the script alongside Ronald Abrams, Alain Silver, and Mary Stewart. He cast his real-life children, Patrick Regan III and Nell Regan, as two of the central characters. [3]

Reception

Common elements of criticism centered upon the acting, with Glenn Kay noting that the children frequently appeared to look off camera for direction. [4] [3] A reviewer for Bleeding Skull wrote that the film was "like witnessing a rhinocerous ballet choreographed by self-conscious robots." [5]
