"The Initiation" is a 1984 American slasher film directed by Larry Stewart and produced by Charles Sellier. The film stars Daphne Zuniga in her first lead role, alongside Vera Miles, Clu Gulager, and James Read. The plot follows a college student who suffers from a recurring nightmare and, as part of her sorority initiation, must break into her father's department store, where a deadly figure from her subconscious begins to kill her friends.

The screenplay was written by Charles Pratt Jr., and the film was released on August 3, 1984. It has since become a cult classic among fans of the slasher genre, noted for its psychological aspects and Zuniga's performance. "The Initiation" is often remembered for its twist ending and for being one of the numerous slasher films that proliferated in the early 1980s following the success of John Carpenter's "Halloween" (1978).

As a producer, Charles Sellier was better known for creating the television series "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams" and for his work in family-friendly entertainment. His involvement in "The Initiation" marked a departure from his usual genre. The film has been analyzed for its themes of identity, memory, and the transition from adolescence to adulthood, as well as its depiction of sorority life and the pressures of familial expectations.

"The Initiation" has been released on various home video formats over the years, including VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray, often with special features that include interviews with the cast and crew, providing insight into the film's production and legacy. Despite its status as a lesser-known entry in the slasher genre, "The Initiation" continues to be of interest to genre enthusiasts and scholars for its contributions to the horror film landscape of the 1980s.
