Green River Killer was the second in a series of direct-to- DVD titles directed by Lommel and released by Lions Gate Entertainment under its Artisan label. Dora, who also worked on Lommel's Zombie Nation, in this flashback directs actor Carsten Frank as he strangles a woman. Dora made Cannibal – Aus dem Tagebuch des Kannibalen, for example. That is because the footage was not shot by director Ulli Lommel but by German actor-director ' Marian Dora,' a pseudonym for the physician who began making gory horror films around the same time Lommel directed Green River Killer. The flashback of Ridgway's fictional 'mentor,' Boris, has a distinctly different look and atmosphere compared with the rest of the movie. The documentary footage is of the real Gary Ridgway confessing to the killings.
