Curiosidades

Venom is a 1974 British horror film directed by Peter Sykes and starring Simon Brent and Neda Arnerić.

Production

Peter Sykes said when he was asked to make the film a script already existed. Sykes rewrote the script and the producers told him he had changed it too much from the original, which had received financial backing. So it changed it back while keeping some changes.

It was his directorial debut. "The film looked beautiful," said Sykes, saying he was influenced by Sunrise. The film led to Hammer Films offering him Demons of the Mind (1972).

Filming took place in October 1970 at Twickenham Studios and on location. Peter Sykes called it "more of a romantic fantasy with horror overtones. It touches on the genre I’m most interested in, which is the psychological horror story – Cat People and films like that. It’s a kind of comic strip myth."
