Trivia

Early in the movie when Detective Reynolds goes in Saffron's condo with a flashlight, real-life pictures of Carrie-Anne Moss can be seen in frames. In one of the pictures the actress is seen with her mother Barbara Moss and in another one, dancing with her Models Inc. (1994) co-star Brian Gaskill. The latter was taken at a party thrown on behalf of the show in 1994.

Disturbing film

This movie will probably stay with me for a while. Heather Grahm was beautiful in the movie and really made me feel for her characters. I was dreading that the movie was going to turn into a predictable girl gone crazy movie because I really like the characters of Amy. Luckily this film had more depth. One of the most disturbing things about the film is the cards that Amy is dealt in her life. I may be a bit biased because I'm a huge foodie like the characters so I really enjoyed that aspect of it as well.. The one thing I will say is this movie may not be for everyone. Hardcore horror fans may not appreciate the slow paced drama but at the same time drama lovers may not appreciate the macabre aspect of the film. I won't say much more but if you like simple yet disturbing movies is recommend this one
