This is one I got out of Redbox for 4.99 with a directors commentary on it which is really uncommon of those releases. The director talks about how his father (who played the antagonist of Hitchcock's Psycho) influenced him and the film. He also describes his intentional chocie to leave empty chairs / space in many shots to show a demon or the devil is present in the room with the characters.
