[edit] Trivia
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
- The Steal Away's idea of the main character being dead is very similar to the idea in the film Sixth Sense by M. Night Shyamalan. Both films were filmed in 1999 so it's difficult to say if the directors based their ideas on each other's films.
Spoilers end here.
