Did you know

Elisha Cuthbert got stuck repeatedly in the melting wax bed while filming the final scenes of the movie. The "wax" was actually peanut butter.

Director Jaume Collet-Serra insisted that practical effects be used as much as possible for the film. Visual effects were used when necessary, but sparingly.

In the church where Carly hides, as well as the movie theatre where Carly and Nick are hiding, most of the wax figures were actually extras wearing masks.
