Trivia

Siegal and Flanagan role-played each scene in their house before writing it down. This enabled them to better envision how the characters would really react in the face of danger.

Goofs

When John tells the killer Maddie would have been unable to call 911 because she is deaf and mute, this is incorrect for several reasons. Most importantly, emergency response services are equipped to communicate with a deaf/mute person. Even if for some reason Maddie.was not able to "speak" with an actual operator, they would still have sent someone to investigate the call.

User Reviews

Nice watch

Randomly decided to watch after it had been in my Netflix queue for months!! Very glad I did because this was an enjoyable little movie since I prefer thrillers more than horror. The only other film I could compare to this to would be Wait Until Dark (MASSIVE Audrey Hepburn fan). If u need something a little scary to watch one day, give this a view because you won't regret it.
