The film is frequently described as "cursed" or a "madmasterpiece" due to its notoriously difficult production and commercial failure:

: Friedkin, fresh off the success of The Exorcist , insisted on absolute realism, shooting in the jungles of the Dominican Republic. The crew suffered from various tropical diseases, and the production went millions of dollars over budget.

: Released in June 1977, the film opened just one month after Star Wars , which completely dominated the cultural zeitgeist and led to Sorcerer being pulled from many theaters.
