Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe university that the students attend was also used as the setting for several other films including Urban Legend (1998) and The Skulls (2000). Coincidentally all three films starred Joshua Jackson.
- GoofsWhen Derrick hands Cathy a half-filled glass after Cathy confronts him about raping Naomi, she throws it to the ground but there is no liquid inside when it hits the floor
- Alternate versionsDeleted Scenes on the DVD:
- Travis films Jones talking about the last time she heard the rumor they started and how it has changed.
- Travis paints over a picture of Beau on his collage while explaining what roles Travis, Derrick and Jones play in the twisted game they have created.
- Derrick runs into Detective Curtis and tells him more lies before the detective asks Derrick about a picture of Naomi which was stolen from her room.
- Derrick calls his parents and tries to ask them for help but they cruelly deny him. This scene was cut because the director didn't want the audience to have sympathy for Derrick. Originally director Davis Guggenheim's parents Marion and director Charles Guggenheim did the voices for Derrick's parents but unfortunately their voices can't be heard on the DVD version of this scene.
- Alternate Ending: An extended version of the ending has Jones and Travis leaving Derrick alone in his loft when he is approached by a stranger who identifies himself as the man who arrested Derrick when he was in high school and he tells him that Naomi is now pressing charges using the video-tape of Derrick admitting that he raped her.

Featured review
My boyfriend and I have been on this wave the last week, just rewatching or watching 90s/early 2000s horrors and thrillers, and this one landed on our list.
It's important going into these movies not expecting today's standards and accepting them for what they are. With that in mind the movies are so enjoyable, and this was no exception.
The film had an interesting and dark enough premise, and althought it is a little all over the place in terms of storytelling and there's very little character delevopment, it's a good romp and kept me guessing. I also highly enjoyed the ending, so I would recommend it for a fun time where you don't need a 2 hour long 8. something rating on IMDB.
Oh, and this is an early 2000 galore fest, which I highly enjoyed.
