Devil Fetus was produced by Shaw Brothers Studio, a prolific company known for its martial arts and exploitation films. Seeking to capitalize on the rising popularity of supernatural horror, the studio embraced the genre's potential for both shock and visual spectacle. The production was notable for its ambitious use of practical effects and makeup to create the film's numerous grotesque and supernatural elements. These included scenes of possession, monstrous transformations, and graphic violence, which required innovative special effects techniques that pushed the boundaries of the studio's capabilities at the time.
