- Cellphones would radically change misunderstandings, including the hospital call, and may reshape the remake. — Bill Simmons
- Modern home cameras would alter the concealment and household intrusions. — Amanda Dobbins
- Cruelty to the cat and dog is painful even as deliberate evidence that both spouses are monstrous; escape for the pets is wished for. — Mallory Rubin
