The film was developed under the working title Terrore mania.[1] It was a low-budget affair with no well-known actors cast.[1] Lead Ettore Elio Aricò, who had appeared in a previous film of Polselli's, provided most of the money for the film himself on the condition that he was cast as the protagonist .[3]
Although the opening credits state that the film was shot at Cave Film Studio in Rome, it was predominantly shot around Isarco Ravaioli's home.[1][3]
ReleaseEdit
Mania was released theatrically in Italy on 24 August 1974, where it was distributed by RCR.[1] Louis Paul described Mania as a "seldom-seen thriller".[4] Polselli stated the lack of availability was due to Aricò's dissatisfaction with the distribution which led him to take the film out of circulation.[5]
Paul also mentioned that it was rumoured to have been released on home video with hardcore pornography sequences added.[4] The film has remained unseen for several years with a rare theatrical screening at Trevi cinema in Rome in May 2007.[1]
