- GoofsWhen Audrey looks at the photo at Dr. Eben's house, then goes to the actual place, over thirty years after the photo was taken, although there are some changes, the house looks almost exactly the same, especially at least two of the bushes growing in the front on the left as one sees them, as if in reality the photo was taken at the time the movie was made. Even after say five years, one would expect the same house to look a bit different, certainly having greater differences than shown here, comparing the 1962 house to the one in 1993.
- Quotes
Audrey Macleah: Well, it seems to me that you don't have a crime scene. And, you don't have any identifiable remains unless you make some assumptions. Now, in order to go forward and profile a suspect, you need a victimology. I mean, without that as a base you really don't have anything, do you?

Featured review
A interesting, flawed lead character, well acted.
Not being much of a fan of this type of thriller, I started to watch this film one day, years ago here in the UK with little interest. While watching it I was struck by the rarity of a character like Audrey Macleah, played in such a understated manner by a actress I had never heard of, never having even seen a tv series called Profiler at that time.
The films plot seems to be intelligent and well crafted, with enough depth to keep you on edge until the end. The final act at the Eben house is particulary suspenseful. I lack the credentials to say whenever the film is a good example of its genre but must return to Audrey Macleah/Ally Walker. The manner in which the character is portrayed as a brilliant academic, although lacking in confidence and with her own past demons just hiding under the surface is masterful. A nice touch is the way in which these are left unresolved, rather than a more typical, heavy handed approach.
One of my favourites, and well worth watching.
