background
The uncut version of Burning Vengeance was seized several times in Germany for glorifying violence - most recently on August 11, 2010 by the Frankfurt am Main District Court (Az .: 4863 Js 213972/10 - 931 Gs). The cut version is 87 minutes long.
Responsible for the make-up effects was Tom Savini , who was previously known for his work at Zombie or Friday the 13th .
The film served as a stepping stone for a number of future stars. The later Oscar winner Holly Hunter and Jason Alexander , who became known for his Emmy- winning role in the sitcom Seinfeld , can be seen in supporting roles .
criticism
"Horror film that mixes its brutal effects with teenage sex."
