Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn order to make the actors feel what the characters were going through, all of the bathroom scenes were shot in chronological order.
- Goofs(at around 59 mins) After Lawrence and Adam find the box with the cellphone and cigarettes, Lawrence tries to call 911. Three different tones can be heard and he says that the cellphone has been blocked from making calls. However, FCC rules require every telephone that can access the network to be able to dial 911, regardless of any reason that normal service may have been disconnected (including deactivated or blocked phones).
- Crazy creditsThe opening title ripples as if it was underwater.
- Alternate versionsThe song "Bite The Hand That Bleeds" by Fear Factory that originally played over the end credits was replaced on the uncut version of the film by an original piece of music by Charlie Clouser entitled "Zepp Overture".

Featured review
Tastefully done
I was always terrified to watch this movie because I thought it would be over the top blood and gore. I finally found the nerve and was extremely surprised. Unlike other horror movies this one takes in the entire scene of the detectives trying to catch the murder while you're trying to figure out what is going on. Even though the movie keeps flashing back it helps take some intensity off of what's going on and adds a nice story to it. Instead of a meaningless film with blood and gore, this one had a well thought out storyline and a killer with rules. It reminded me a little of Silence of the lambs, they both have that edge that anything brutal and gory can happen any moment keeping up the intensity of the film. Don't get me wrong there is blood and gore in the film, but it's done in a tasteful way unlike some of the final destination movies.
