    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Both Jennifer Lynch and Vincent D'Onofrio have stated they would have preferred that the title of this film be "Rabbit".
    • Goofs
      When Bob freaks out in his garage after having flashbacks, you can see a male crew member wearing a baseball cap in the side mirror of the taxi.
    • Quotes

      Bob: Without education, you're fucked. I mean, you've seen some things. I've showed you some things for sure, but you haven't understood them. You ever do a puzzle? You know the kind of puzzle that has the picture on the outside of the box? That's what people are. Pictures on the outside, pieces inside.

    • Crazy credits
      The credits play over sounds of Rabbit in the house. There is no music. Among the sounds are what appear to be Rabbit cutting out an article for the scrapbook, exiting the garage, and leaving in the taxi cab.
    • Alternate versions
      The throat slitting scene was originally more graphic, but was cut to avoid an NC-17 rating. It can be seen in the bonus features of the DVD and Blu-Ray release.

    Unpredictable

    This is the most unpredictable horror thriller I have ever seen. I don't know a similar movie.

    Though I was skeptical about Vincent D'Onofrio. I know him well from Full Metal Jacket and many episodes of Criminal Intent in the role of the investigating detective. How can I buy that he is a psychopath and a serial killer? But a few minutes later, I forgot that it's him, because of the shocking scenes. He plays a man-made psychopath without empathy and without compassion. Not a glimpse of compassion. The unpredictability of him generates horror since anything could happen at any time. The story reveals what has made such a monster out of him, but also shows, that not everyone becomes a psychopath.

    The other main actor, Eamon Farren also plays brilliantly.

    There is not a ton of action but it's not boring, trust me. It is frightening but also a sad story. You will see.
