Is this really a Montoro/Film Ventures production?

I wanted to get some answers regarding this film, because several people including sources and interviews I have read with filmmakers that were involved with Film Ventures International (FVI) back in the early 1980's, none of them can tell me for sure if this film, The Unearthling (AKA- The Pod People) was one of many of the B-Movie productions produced and or distributed by Film Ventures International. Edward Montoro, who ran Film Ventures made a significant impression with releasing B-Movie films in the US, many of them were major motion pictures that included Beyond the Door, Grizzly, Day of the Animals and Vigilante. Other features included The Dark, The Incubus and Mutant. In 1980 FVI did face major finanical issues over the acquisition of Great White, an Italian made ripoff of Jaws, that threatened a law-suit by Universal Pictures. The director of The Unearthling, Juan Simon did direct a feature that was acquired by FVI called 'Pieces', but I am still lost if this film was officially released by FVI. I have heard rumors that some of the films that are often seen on MST3 were re-released or edited to look like films done by FVI, but that was later proven false.
