While not prosecuted for obscenity, the film was seized and confiscated in raids in the UK under Section 3 of the Obscene Publications Act 1959 during the video nasty panic, probably due to the lurid video box art.[1] Strangely, although this was Naschy's take on the Italian giallo genre, the film does not appear to have been theatrically distributed at all in Italy, France or Germany.
