The film was made on a total budget of around $7 million, which is sometimes apparent in the night scenes lit by fires in trash cans. It played upon the then recent highly-public fiscal and social eclipse of New York and fearful suburban attitudes concerning failed inner cities in general. It is said to be one of the "best" B-Movies, and still has a strong fan following.
