Production
At one stage the film was called Quad-rena and Not of this Earth 2.[5][6]
The movie was shot at Roger Corman's studio at Connemara, in County Galway, Ireland.[7] Steven Bauer later called it "a not very good movie... It was a space vampire movie so we were shooting a lot at night. It was April and I remember it was very chilly and very wet. I don't know how I found myself talked into doing it. It was a low point in my life. But I really enjoyed Galway.”[8]
Reception
Psychtronic Media reported " Some of the music is semi punk or heavy metal and outer space footage is from an earlier Corman production. Odd accents and all the Fionas and Liams in the credits point to the fact that this was filmed in Ireland."[9]
