Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Uri Geller's scenes were added after the film was completed because it was felt that the film was too complicated and some kind of explanation was needed. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Its a common goof, but however small always breaks the film "spell". One of the mourners makes the classic mistake of looking directly at the camera, just after the punch up at the wake, but the real beauty of it is that it’s as if she forgot they were filming (so "into" the role), and was surprised to see a camera in the room, check out the double take at the camera, then swift realisation of her GOOF and aversion of the eyes away! Luckily the tall baldy chap is acting so well most people miss this goof. more

GREAT idea: BAD movie, 27 October 2003
Author: ciaomania from Pacific Northwest

The artwork on the box that this DVD came in was infinitely more entertaining than the film (using that term loosely) itself.

I feel as though the creators of this film had a very good Stephen King type idea, but miserably failed at making it into a watchable movie.

Great story. Poor acting and poor filming, perhaps due to a poor budget?

Maybe someone out there will see this movie and re-create it to it's full potential...
