Did you know
ā¢ To accentuate the contrast between the scary and the funny, director Paul Feig made the decision to shoot the movie like a brightly-lit comedy. "Thrilling things happen in the daylight rather than in darkly lit rooms." He adds, "in the suburbs, there's not a lot of hiding among the white walls and bright windows."
ā¢ Anna Kendrick has 39 costume changes in the movie. Her style begins as very bright and happy, but it evolves as she uncovers the secrets around her.
ā¢ The dead body gave a clue that it might not have been the real Emily as the mole on the face was on the left side. Emily's mole is on the right side.

A fine movie gets totally lost at the end
Was decent... until it wasn't
