This film has garnered interest among collectors due to its elusive status and the unique blend of themes. Its availability has often been limited, leading to varying formats over the years, making original prints quite sought after. The exploration of voodoo as a cultural element also adds a layer of depth that appeals to collectors interested in niche genres, but its scarcity means that it doesn't always turn up at conventions or online auctions.
