    Storyline

    Did you know

    • 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
