Revealing mistake: When Paul goes through Annie's scrapbook, a fast reader may notice that several newspaper clippings (although having different headlines and being based on separate events), have the exact same story underneath. The text has simply been repeated, rather than a new report being created for each story.

9.5/10. My favorite Rob Reiner movie. It's a masterpiece of horror with Kathy Bates giving an excellent Oscar winning performance with James Caan in his best movie since The Godfather. It's chilling, creepy, and scary as all get out. Bates is great here, her Oscar win was well deserved. Just a masterpiece in the horror genre.
