Trivia
The website used by the killer (www.killwithme.com) actually existed. It was owned by the movie studio and it was used to promote the film. In it, users were taken to a replica of the FBI computer used by the character Jennifer Marsh. Her desktop gets hacked by the killer who provides the visitor with four tests he/she must complete to deactivate his website. The content has now been removed, and the domain name is available for sale or lease.

Goofs
When Jennifer Marsh's electrical system is restored on her vehicle, she makes little effort to check the inside of the vehicle before re-entering it. A highly trained police officer, especially a FBI agent, would have enough sense to check the back seat throughly before making any attempt to re-enter a vehicle considered suspicious.

Quotes
Owen Reilly: [types on killwithme.com blog] Did you really think I would let you people hurt that little girl?

A Decent Police-Horror Combo Thriller

25 January 2008. This played straight movie incorporates elements of SAW and MANHUNTER (or RED DRAGON) into a fusion film that carefully balances the creepy horror elements with an intelligent thriller. The plot is tight and there is a delicate underlying element of fear and anxiety built from the very beginning of the movie. The relationship between the two primary FBI agents this time around is much more authentic without the typical emotional cliques. The reveals are handled well. The music fits the movie and paces it well. The photography and shot angles add to the movie's intensity. Overall, this movie elevates itself and adds a new and important angle regarding the internet, mass media, and the issues of blatant exploitation and almost public lust for violence and disaster. UNTRACEABLE avoids being pandering and avoids being exploitative itself, the horror is presented not in exciting and titillating terms but more in a repulsive and rejecting manner. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't allow for the full development of the antagonist character and still appears much more two-dimensional even though he does across as a person to be reckoned with. In other words, this movie could have been significantly even more than what it accomplishes. Seven out of Ten Stars.
