Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This came out one month after The Sixth Sense, which buried it at the box office despite being the superior film for horror purists.
The hypnosis scene uses actual induction techniques—Illeana Douglas trained with a real hypnotherapist. The red door imagery became so iconic that fans still report seeing 'red doors everywhere' after watching.
