After the box office success of Carrie - Lo sguardo di Satana (1976), some strikingly similar movies appeared, described by critics as rip-offs and knock-offs. Le due sorelle (1978) was a tele-movie starring Kay Lenz as an outcast with telekinetic powers at a college where a cruel sorority bullies her and plays pranks on her. Jennifer (1978) starred Lisa Pelikan as a misfit at an elite private school who takes revenge on her tormentors using her psychic power over snakes. Ruby (1977) was another. All four film titles feature the first name of the title protagonist character.
Lisa Pelikan contracted bronchitis during the making of this movie. Pelikan revealed in an online interview that she never received a percentage from the box office profits of this film.
