It says that Ian Blake Nelson plays the little boy

but to me, the guy on the front porch who knocks on the door and is later killed, sure reminds me of Tim Blake Nelson. I wonder if this is an IMDB error. There is no info on Ian Blake Nelson as apparently this is the only film he has appeared in. Does anyone know if he is Tim's son, or if the man on the porch is his brother. They sure do look alike.

Well, if IMDb's in error, so are the credits at the end of the movie itself. The credits say that the man on the porch is Brent Hinkley. IMDb doesn't have a whole lot of personal info on him, but the last name's not the same, and the movie credits the kid as just Ian Nelson. Could just be a coincidence that the lil' guy playing the son and Tim Blake Nelson have the same middle and last names... and neither are terribly uncommon names, so it's not too hard to believe.

I hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire.

Seinfeld fans will recognize the "man on the porch" (Brent Hinkley) immediately.

Wow! That guy looks a lot like TBN!

What we got here is... failure to communicate!
