It received mostly negative reviews upon its release. It was released in some foreign markets as "Insect".

Production

It was part of a three-picture deal between Sandy Howard and RCA-Columbia. The other films were Dark Tower and Nightstick. The movie received a 30% tax benefit because it was shot in Canada (in Toronto) with Canadian talent. The original title was Green Monkey but it was changed because of a theory at the time that AIDS was started by infected African green monkeys.
