흥미로운 사실

The Reptile is a 1966 British supernatural horror film directed by John Gilling, and starring Noel Willman, Jacqueline Pearce, Ray Barrett, Jennifer Daniel, and Michael Ripper. Produced by Hammer Film Productions, it was released on a double bill with Rasputin, the Mad Monk.

Production

Initially pitched to Universal Pictures three years earlier as The Curse of the Reptiles, the script was written by Anthony Hinds using his pseudonym, John Elder. Hammer producer Anthony Nelson Keys, in an effort to save money, had decided to shoot four films on the same sets with staggered release dates.

As documented in books on Hammer Film's history, actress Jacqueline Pearce disliked wearing the Reptile make-up as she suffered from claustrophobia. After this film she vowed never to wear "creature" make-up in her future acting projects.
