ProductionWriter John D Brancato says the film was inspired by "killer mutant baby stories like It's Alive". They had previously written Bloodfist II for Corman.[1] Filming took place in October 1990.[2] It was the first film directed by Flender who described it has a cross between Rosemary's Baby and The Fly.[3] It was the first feature film as cinematographer for Wally Pfister who worked for Roger Corman for a number of years. He later recalled, "I had something I wanted to try with color and light. But it’s ghastly. At the same time, I cut myself slack, because my creative reach went beyond my skill level. That’s a really important thing to note. I had great ideas. But if you don’t have the skill level, you’re never going to master the artistry. That’s where I was early on. And I needed to put the hard work in and slowly work my way up."[4] Adams said the film was a "pleasant surprise" for her and at one stage discussed with Corman the possibility of directing the sequel.[5] SequelThe film was followed by a sequel, The Unborn 2.
