Production

Seizure is the directorial debut of Oliver Stone, who also co-wrote the screenplay. Star Mary Woronov would later claim that gangster Michael Thevis was one of the film's producers. He apparently partially bankrolled the film in an attempt to launder money, as he was under investigation by the FBI.
