Did You Know?
| Trivia | The real-life serial killer dentist, Glennon Engleman (1928-1999), was not the inspiration for the story of the film. The idea for the movie came from Mark Amin, and was written by Charles Finch, Stuart Gordon and Dennis Paoli. However, Corbin Bernsen had played a character inspired by Engleman in Beyond Suspicion (1993), which has nothing to do with this movie. See more » |
