Kid has face torn open by guy who looks sort of like Eric Roberts
Outside of Hong Kong cinema, it's pretty rare to see gratuitous kid death in a movie. Brian Yuzna breaks that rule very early on in Beneath Still Waters by tearing a child's face open. Yikes.
Repulsive cockroach vomit ritual
Initiation features some unbelievable effects work from Screaming Mad George. The best example of the Japanese effects master's work in this film can be seen in an absolutely repulsive ritual sequence that concludes with a very Cronenberg-esque chunder.
An interview with Brian Yuzna
It was very daunting to speak to someone of such overwhelming achievements as Brian Yuzna. I found myself very nervous, but Brian is an excellent speaker with countless stories and a great, progressive outlook on filmmaking.
“Show him how good your teeth are!”
I'm a big, big fan of Brian Yuzna. I can't get enough of his sleazy, gooey style, and The Dentist is one of his best. But it's not just Yuzna that brings the fun. Corbin Bernsen's off-the-rails performance has to be seen to be believed.
