The film gained some notoriety in 1991 when actor Charlie Sheen viewed it and came to believe that it was an illegal snuff film. He contacted the FBI with his complaint and an investigation ensued, but the movie was eventually proven to be merely a very realistic (yet completely fictional) horror film, and not a document of an actual murder.
EASTER EGG: To view the "Snuff Cut" of the film on the Unearthed Films DVD (see Alternate Versions), select "The Flower of Flesh and Blood". You will see the menu with the lips on it, when your arrow is on the small lips (back button) push down and a red splatter will show up on her lips. Press select and you get to watch the film in "SNUFF VISION".
Released only two months after its predecessor.
