    • Trivia
      Despite the American setting, the sets were constructed with the 1.44 m (4'9")-high door handles of an older Australian home, which American writer/director Chris Peckover called a source of distraction and frustration.
    • Quotes

      Ashley: What delusional infant thinks that staging a break-in is going to get you to second base?

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: After the first set of credits, there is a scene with Luke saying he is worried about Ashley and wants to go to the hospital to check up on her.

    Clever, Inventive Low-Budget Filmmaking - But Deeply Disturbing

    Man, what a ride! I love it when I know absolutely nothing about a low budget film and don't expect much - and then get completely surprised at how good it actually is.

    This little gem is an unpredictable, often times either darkly funny or deeply disturbing thrill ride that should not be me missed by genre (or generally film) fans.

    It's beautifully shot, acted and written, and I'm sure we'll hear more from filmmaker Chris Peckover in the future. This is clever, inventive low-budget filmmaking at its best, and it goes to show that a lack of money is not an obstacle that can't be overcome by sheer talent.

    Good stuff: 8 stars out of 10.
