Trivia
For the first time in seventy years, 20th Century Fox shipped prints of this movie without the final reel, which was shipped separately. This was done as a security measure as so people wouldn't be able to reveal the ending. To further ensure the safety of protecting the film's ending, security guards would hand-deliver the reel to theaters showing the film. Fox had individually numbered each reel, as well as a final security measure. Fox Executive Vice President and Sales Manager Richard Myerson stated it was "to ensure everyone's enjoyment of the film and to prevent 'spoilers', we've instituted extraordinary measures. We think it's worth the effort."

Goofs
When Emily is laying on her bedroom floor, she draws a picture of her and Charlie at the window, but she draws herself with blonde hair, the actress's natural hair color.

Quotes
Emily: You like games?
Elizabeth: I love games. Would you like to play one?
Emily: I'm already playing.

Alternate versions
The DVD includes four alternate endings. The DVD also has a branching system which includes four different versions of the film.

Good Performances helps ease the Flaws.

Pyschotrist David Callaway (Two-Time Oscar Winner:Robert De Niro) seen the body of his dead wife (Amy Irving) committed suicide. When his only daughter (Dakota Fanning) is traumatized by her mother death. David and His daughter move to the country to start a new life. When his daughter is creating a new imaginary friend, the father starts to worry and strange things are starting to happen to him and especially his daughter.

Directed by John Polson (Swinfan) made a good thriller but the only problem in this film. It doesn't know when to quit and it's ends with an unsatisfying conclusion. De Niro and Fanning are extraordinary good in this film. The film's supporting cast are:Elizabeth Shue, Famke Janssen, Dylan Baker, Melissa Leo and Robert John Burke. This was a Box Office Hit. This should be a larger successful on DVD.

DVD has an sharp Pan & Scan transfer with an good-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound (also in DTS 5.1 Sound). DVD has an commentary track by the filmmakers, deleted scenes, 4 alternative endings and more. This thriller could be a cult favorite. It is nicely done film. Super 35. (*** ½/*****).
