Trivia

When asked in an interview about filming the scene where India Eisley, playing his daughter, takes off all her clothes in front of him, Jason Isaacs said: "I liked playing scenes with India when she was (her character) Airam. Just because it's a father's worst nightmare that their daughter is suddenly aggressively sexual and confrontational. You're used to having a certain status and parental authority. It's shakey anyway in the real world, but in our grotesque movie world it's even shakier and I loved it because it was so unsettling."

Goofs

When she strikes Michael on the head with a bottle, there's no blood on it afterwards, despite blood pooling around his head when he fell to the floor.

Quotes

Airam: I've always been here. Look in the window. I'm everywhere you are. Whenever you see yourself, what you really see is me.

User Reviews

Very Entertaining movie!!!

A interesting look into the mind of a young woman who feels unloved and neglected by everyone around her and how far the mind of such a damaged person could go. This movie was really entertaining to watch and has some interesting issues. I would have rated it higher but towards the end it seemed like they speeded it up a little to wrap it all up quick but nonetheless a fun movie to watch if you like your physiological thrillers. Great soundtrack in the movie as well. 7/10 for me, defenitely worth watching.
