During filming, the actors used a doll for playful teasing. Once, one of the actors placed the doll opposite the bathroom door of another actor in the trailer they shared. When he came out of the bathroom, he was startled and angrily threw the doll out of the trailer. The broken doll had to be replaced.
Initially, the film was titled «In Darkness», and Jane Levy was supposed to play the main character.
Early script drafts indicated that Brahms's parents hired Greta because he needed a playmate (there are some hints of this in the final version of the film). There are also hints that Brahms initially intended to abduct and rape her. For example, in early versions of the scene where Greta comes out of the shower and finds her clothes missing, she walked around the house naked for several minutes (while Brahms watched) before wrapping herself in a blanket and going to the attic, where she was accidentally locked in. The scene at the end of the film where Brahms asks Greta to kiss him goodnight was also originally different. Brahms would grab the girl and start kissing and fondling her until she hit him with a screwdriver. Furthermore, the script ended with a scene of Brahms's death at her hands, whereas the film shows Brahms alive after Greta and Malcolm leave.
