Heyward are credited with the script for the AIP English-language launch model. Years after its launch, some critics advised that the movie’s narrative particulars and visible design appeared to have been a serious affect on Alien (1979) though Ridley Scott has all the time maintained he had by no means seen Bava’s movie.
