Trivia
During the shooting of this film, Daniel Craig (Will Atenton) and Rachel Weisz (Libby) met and started dating. Their relationship was publicly announced several months later. They married in a discreet ceremony. When asked about the movie, Craig said, "The movie didn't turn out great. But I met my wife. Fair trade."

Goofs
In the diner where Will is asking the police officers about the murders, the front shot of the officers is flipped as indicated by the text on the menu in the background as well as the seating of the officers switching between shots. That's because it's being seen through the mirror behind the counter at the diner.

Quotes
Dr. Medlin: Alright, now I want to show you something I showed you earlier. From five years ago.
[plays back CCTV recording showing a violent, crazed man turning to face the camera]
Will Atenton: [shocked pause] That's not... Peter Ward. That's... that's me.
Dr. Medlin: You lived in this institution for five years, Peter.
Will Atenton: No. Um... that's, that's ridiculous. I... I'm not Peter Ward. I'm Will Atenton.
Dr. Medlin: That's the name you gave yourself. W1-1L becomes Will. The numbers 8-10-10 become Atenton. Will Atenton.

competent

A family moves into their suburban home to live their dream but it turns out that they bought a murder house that is famous and toxic. The local teenagers tend to congregate in the basement to reenact the most famous crimes in their town's history. The one when the father of the household killed his wife and two girls in that very home. They find out that the killer has been set loose on account of a lack of evidence. This flick is well told; it comes complete with a great house as a main character. We have to go back and forth in time in order to tell the story with suspense, this conceit is never my favorite, but still and all, this is a competent movie.
