Trivia:
The house depicted in the film was used for day scenes only. It was torn down after filming because it didn't meet local building codes. The rooms were duplicated on an L.A. sound stage for night scenes. more
Goofs:
Errors in geography: It seems unlikely that Norman or Claire would be able to dial 911. Only 30 of Vermont's 250 towns have 911 service. Residents in rural areas, like Norman and Claire's town, have to dial 7 or 11 digits to call for emergency services. more
Quotes:

Claire Spencer: Good morning, Beauty. Let's go or we'll never leave on time.

Amazing, 17 June 2003
10/10
Author: frontline from Germany

I think that this movie is simply one of the best of its kind. It was real scary at times, the acting was superb (Michelle Pfeiffer did an amazing job) and everything else about it was just right too. This movie is definatly in my top 10 best of all times, so i have no choice but to give it the full score, a straight 10 out of 10 !!! I loved it and it never gets boring even after watching it for the 6th time !!!
