Trivia
Jennifer Lopez provided clothes from her own wardrobe for her character, Claire, as a means of keeping the budget down.

Goofs
After Noah defends Kevin from his bullies by beating one of them far too much, Vicky keeps Noah in her office and says that the bully's skull has been fractured. Despite such a serious violent assault during school time and on public school property, Noah does not seem to face any consequences from either the school or the local police. He is not arrested or held accountable to the injured teen's parents or even questioned by any one other than Vicky, the vice principal of the school.

Quotes
[from trailer]
Kevin: Do you wanna take a cookie for the road?
Noah Sandborn: [chuckles] I love your mother's cookies.

Alternate versions
The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove a moment of strong gory detail (close-up eye gouging) in order to obtain a 15 classification. An uncut 18 classification was available.

With neighbors like this ...

I know the saying is actually with friends like ... but with a movie title like this ... what did you expect this to be? Only thing that might surprise you, is the fact that they allegedly went back and shot some extra scenes to make this spicier. How was that before, if this is the spicy/"erotic" version? Not that even further skin/encounters would have helped the movie.

But it is what it is. And that's a terror thriller, with an almost decent villain. It actually doesn't start that bad to be honest. I liked the way this went at the beginning and Jennifer Lopez does a neat job of pulling that role of. But just to a certain degree - after that it's downhill from there. So yes this is a bad movie, but it has a few things that can be seen as saving graces - if you're forgiving enough. Standard at best
