The film's plot borrows heavily from Jacques Tourneur's film, La notte del demonio (1957) (aka "Curse of the Demon" in the US), that was based on the story, "Casting the Runes" by M.R. James. In that movie, a man (Dana Andrews) was cursed by being given a piece of parchment inscribed with cursed runic symbols. The person given the parchment is then pursued by a demon for a set number of days before the demon kills them at an appointed time. This film also ends up in virtually the same type of location and with the same style demise. However, neither the 1957 film nor the original writer are credited in this film.
