The Canal Street subway station was actually filmed in Toronto's "Bay Lower" unused subway station. $150,000 was spent on set dressing alone. The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) was so impressed with the New York conversion that they actually requested the set to be left up after filming was completed to attract future filming revenue. The set remained for about three weeks until TTC fire inspectors deemed the set a hazard (steel girders, signs and benches were plastic and wood), so the set was torn down and disposed of. See more »

I read the book for this before I saw the movie on tape. The movie was a disappointment. I have to say that the movie has only the basic plot points from the book. The book is much more suspenseful, as well as much more graphic with the violence. Also, the dilemma and treatment of the kidnapped daughter is much more brutal than in the movie. The book also goes more into the past of Elizabeth, how she ended up the way she was, and it makes more sense in the book. Also, it was her mother that died, not her father. Plot points are explained better in the book. Do yourself a favor, go to your library and check out the book, you won't waste your money on the rental and get a much better story.
