ILM’s Oscar-winning effects for this film included realistic CGI human (*) skin for a sequence in which one of its two leads uses a shovel to snap the other’s neck. The music (10[1])video for Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste” was inspired by this 1992 film, in (10[1])which a romantic quarrel (10[1])over a plastic surgeon leads Helen Sharp and Madeline (10[1])Ashton to take an immortality potion.
