• The cabin where Ruth (Sissy Spacek) and Matt (Tom Wilkinson) visit the Grinnells belongs to director Todd Field.
• Many of the products used in the film are real regional products commonly found in seacoast Maine (i.e. Oakhurst brand milk).
• There were 15 takes of Sissy Spacek slapping Marisa Tomei. The final version of the film used the first take.
• Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The physician's mistake was thinking ending a person's life in small-town New England would not be uncovered. He may have thought their law enforcement would lack the wisdom of using a forensic-minded pathologist in the place of an ordinary coroner. At the end of the film, Matt remembered he had not worn gloves and DNA from the puncture to his index finger from being bitten by the lobster would prove his identity. Nearly every such crime contains some overlooked error that proves to incriminate the person.
