Trivia for Santa Maria: The Last Week Of Fear.

The 'victims' in the film all were 17 years old exactly but there were stunt doubles used during the torture and harassment scenes.

After the release of the film, it gathered a huge controversy. Director Wolfgang Madadeus was accused of showing perverse and sadistic behavior because of making this film. A lawsuit was even filed against him for using teenagers for torture scenes. However, Madadeus proved in court that stunt doubles of older ages were used for the torture scenes.
