Trivia:

There is a scene in the trailer in which Claire is looking at a photograph and notices a ghost face in the window. This scene never appears in the movie.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Only 30 of Vermont's 250 towns have 911 service. Residents in rural areas, as it's established Norman and Claire are in, have to dial 7 or even 11 digits to call for emergency service. So it seems unlikely that Norman or Claire would be able to dial 911.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Claire Spencer: Good morning, Beauty. Let's go or we'll never leave on time.
Caitlin Spencer: I'm totally ready.
Claire Spencer: Come on. I'll make you some waffles.

Amazing

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 !!!
