Short description

An agoraphobic psychologist and a female detective must work together to take down a serial killer who copies serial killers from the past.

What's left behind the scenes

There is almost a 20 cm height difference between Holly Hunter and Sigourney Weaver. Because of this, throughout the film, in scenes involving both actresses, one of them is either sitting or standing in another part of the room.
The film's music was later used in the thriller directed by Jim Gillespie, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997) starring Jennifer Love Hewitt.
During the filming of the bathroom scene, Sigourney Weaver genuinely spat in William McNamara's face. He was completely unprepared, as rehearsals had not included the spit. Therefore, the surprise and anger on his face are entirely genuine.
The scene in the women's restroom took 8 days to film.
During the filming of the scene in the women's restroom, Sigourney Weaver actually spat in William McNamara's face. He was completely unprepared, as the preceding rehearsals did not include the spit. Therefore, the surprise and anger on his face are entirely genuine.
