Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to David Fincher, Kristen Stewart grew more than three inches during filming of this project. She was smaller than Jodie Foster when the production started and towered over her when the final shots were done.
- GoofsWhen Meg starts searching for a "chocolate bar" once Sarah's sugar level drops, Sarah says she had already searched in the box and had found nothing. Yet we clearly see standard U.S. Military M.R.E. (meal ready to eat) packages which include a high sugar ration (in the form of, or in addition to, a dessert with the meal itself and sugar to be used with the included instant coffee), when Sarah was first searching.
- Crazy creditsOpening credits are amazingly realistic in that they cast shadows and are reflected on the surrounding glass buildings.
- Alternate versionsThe film's VHS & HDTV release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.78:1, meaning there is more picture at the top and bottom of the frame than on DVD, which presents the original theatrical aspect ratio (2.39:1).
- ConnectionsEdited into HBO First Look: The Making of 'Panic Room' (2002)
Featured review
This movie is riveting, exciting, but not really poignant nor gripping. But who cares? I don't think that with this thriller, we can expect one day to see Jodie Foster as a simple - desperate or not - house wife. She has always played strong women and I am sure she always will. The more times I see iit, the more I love it. The bad guy, the villain character, who wears a hood and suddenly takes it off, this partly bald villain, reminds me the bald villain in 8 MM, starring Nick Cage. Yes, this is for me another gem from director David Fincher, one of my favorites from him. Many invasion movies have been made after this one and inspired from this one.
