Notes
Trivia: Ali Larter was offered the role of Kayleigh, but dropped out. (more)

Goofs: Factual errors: The marquee outside the theater advertises that the movies 'Se7en' (1995) and 'Dumb and Dumber' (1994) are playing. The former came out more than a year after the latter. (more)

Quotes:
[first lines]
[reading aloud as he writes a note]
Evan: If anyone finds this, it means my plan didn't work and I'm already dead. But if I can somehow go back to the beginning of all of this, I might be able to save her.
