Other mistake: When Laura's husband hits her across the forehead, the cut on the left side of her forehead is visible and bleeding when she is on the floor. However, that night when they go sailing, she has her hair pulled in a braid without any bangs covering her forehead and the cut/bruise is totally gone.

Directed by: Joseph Ruben
Starring: Julia Roberts, Patrick Bergin, Kevin Anderson, Elizabeth Lawrence
Continuity mistake: When Sarah/Laura first sees Ben singing and watering the lawn, the view from the inside of her bedroom shows that the room/wall extends quite a ways to her right. But from Ben's viewpoint outside, Sarah/Laura appears in a corner window, with no possible extension of the room/wall to her right anymore.
Martin: I can't live without you. And I won't let you live without me.
Trivia: The beach house is supposedly in Cape Cod, but was actually filmed in Wrightsville Beach, NC on Figure Eight island.
Question: When she discovers the cans are all in order, why doesn't she run out the back door which is right there? Why does she run to the front door?
Answer: There's no way to know what she was thinking or why she chose to do that. She was panicked and reacted on impulse rather than logic. One thought, going to the front door is the most direct route to the main street where she could get to a neighbor or find other people more quickly. Backyards are more secluded and dangerous.
