Goofs:

Continuity: When Lisa opens the first poem she receives, there are clearly three stanzas. However, when she sets it down while talking on the telephone that evening, there are now only two stanzas on the piece of paper. She is shown with the same poem later in the film and there are now three stanzas again.

Quotes:

Henley: There is nothing to fear... but the fear of fear itself...

Wow!(and not in a good way)

This movie had me laughing the whole time. Unfortunately, it's not suppose to be a comedy. Craig Parker did a wonderful job as the overeager Deputy Henley but the rest of the movie isn't worth seeing. I would compare it to a bad "Lifetime" movie, but worse. I don't know why it's considered a thriller because I would not be thrilled to have to see this movie again. It takes every cheesy cliché from every other thriller movie and uses them over and over again. None of the actors were American so I don't see why it needed to be set in America just so they could all murder the accent. Sometimes they even forgot which side of the road to drive on. It's just... the list of bad things about this movie could go on forever.
