Did you know
- TriviaThe film was shot entirely with hand-held cameras or steady cams. Every shot has some camera movement.
- GoofsAfter Kristen injures her ankle, she limps in the house, then walks perfectly. Immediately after, she limps again.
- Alternate versionsThe unrated version is over two minutes longer than the theatrical version which includes one additional scene of Kristen, after being stabbed and left for dead, is crawling on the floor of the house to reach Mike's ringing cell phone, only to have it ring off before she can answer it. Then the Man in the Mask appears again, takes the phone away from her, and walks out the front door with it, leaving Kristen dying on the floor.

Featured review
The art of subtlety.
It would be so easy to dismiss the very deliberate pacing of this film as pedestrian, but in this day and age of gratuitous violence and constant gore, this film relies on the ability to slowly torment you, as toy watch the hideous way in which the young couple are subjected to the night from Hell.
At the time I genuinely did find this a very unsettling, unnerving watch, going home to an empty house after this was unsettling.
Ignore those that call it boring, trust me, it isn't, it's paced in a way that throws you off guard.
No clear begining, or end, just a series of random events. It's a grim movie. 7/10
