흥미로운 사실

Womaneater is a 1958 British low budget second feature ('B') horror film directed by Charles Saunders and starring George Coulouris and Vera Day. It was written by Brandon Fleming. Produced by Guido Coen, the film recounts the story of a crazed scientist who feeds women to a flesh-eating tree in return for a serum that can bring the dead back to life.

Production

Womaneater was filmed at Twickenham Studios then in Middlesex (now Greater London) while some scenes were shot outside the studio. American film critic Bill Warren points out a sequence shot on the streets of London in which Moran goes "on the prowl" for another woman to feed to the tree.

According to British film critic John Hamilton, there was a setback as production was about to begin: "the already tight budget was stretched to breaking-point by an accidental fire just before shooting started which reduced the original tree to cinders and left the prop department a matter of days to construct the unsatisfactory alternative".

Film historians Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane note that Coen "dismissed [the film] as 'rubbish'".
