Trivia
Director Jaume Collet-Serra insisted that practical effects be used as much as possible for the film. Visual effects were used when necessary, but sparingly.

Goofs
Carly's height changes throughout the film. This is explained in the extras; because Jared Padalecki is so tall, Elisha Cuthbert wore wooden shoes in the scenes where her feet weren't shown. In some scenes, she is up to Wade's shoulder. In others, she is up to his chest.

Quotes
Blake: [after Dalton is given a make-over] He looks like Elton John, only more gay.
Dalton: Elton John is gay?

Crazy credits
Random letters in the end credits of the movie begin to melt down from the screen as they appear. Also, some pairs of letters are joined, just like Bo and Vincent when they were born.

Alternate versions
The uncut version is rated R21 in Singapore. Two scenes needed to be trimmed to secure an NC16 rating. First is the body dragging scene where the head slowly detaches itself from the torso. Next is the scene where the killer graphically removes a pole that is jammed into a female victim's head.

I don't understand the bad reviews.

This movie is really creepy and has stuck with me for years. I don't understand why people want to hate on it. Yeah the actors aren't the greatest but it's not like horror movies are known for their amazing acting. It's good enough.
