Trivia
Scott Walker delayed shooting for 5 months so he could shoot on the cusp of fall, starting with no snow and ending in deep winter. He has said he literally wanted the feel of the weather closing in on the story, freezing the case.

Goofs
In the epilogue, set in 1983, a modern flat-screen TV (turned off) is on the wall at the airport.

Quotes
D.A. Pat Clives: We'll look these over, get back to you in a few days.
Jack Halcombe: You know, he stalks them like his next trophy animal, he rapes them and kills them. He is probably doing it right now. We don't have a few days!

Crazy credits
The end credits begin with pictures and information about Hansen's known victims

Cusack Completely Believable

Given his freakish performance, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Cusack was a sociopathic serial killer. Given his performance on Twitter as of late, it certainly seems to fit.

Decent flick-not sure what Cage's deal has been the last 20 or so years, but this is one of the rarities in the last few decades-solid acting with a believable delivery.
