Interesting facts

Venus Flytrap (also known as Body of the Prey is a 1970 American-Japanese science fiction horror film shot partly in Japan. It was distributed by the Toei Company of Japan. The film was released in Japan as Akuma no Niwa.

Production

Atsuko Rome had never acted before, instead having been a model and ballet dancer. She praised director Thomson for making the process smooth. The shoot took about a month.

The movie was reportedly discovered years later in a warehouse with no opening credits, and credits from another movie (The Mad Doctor of Blood Island) were sloppily spliced onto the print. This has caused the confusion of the identities of the cast and crew.
