Back from Hell is an American 1992 horror film based on the Faust legend. It is the directorial debut of Matt Jaissle.
Development
Prior to working on Back from Hell Jaissle worked with Super 8 film and viewed directing a feature length film as the natural next step in his career. He began filming Back from Hell in 1988 with a budget of approximately $5,000 and by its completion Jaissle estimated the budget to be around $12,000. Jaissle initially had some issues filming with a 16mm camera, but as filming progressed he and his crew "managed to figure it all out". Filming took place in Michigan, with all but some establishing shots filming in Milan.[3]
Release
After Jaissle completed filming he signed with a distributor, Peacock Films, who sold the film to foreign markets around 1992 or 1993. Per Jaissle, a VHS release of Back from Hell was issued a few years after through HV Films. The movie was also released on DVD through Brentwood; Jaissle has stated that he did not receive any money from the sales of Back from Hell.[3]
