    Storyline

    • Trivia
      During pre-production, Elias Koteas traveled to Ohio to meet a man who could speak Syrian-Aramaic to help him with his dialogue. The man was happy to help, but wouldn't utter the curse words in the speech for religious reasons. Therefore, the producers had to find another Syrian-Aramaic speaker who was willing to speak the profane lines for Koteas.
    • Goofs
      When Hobbes returns to the wood cabin towards the end of the film, he enters and stands looking around for a moment, with a window to his left. A definite human shadow can be seen walking past the window, despite Hobbes being alone.
    • Quotes

      John Hobbes: C'mon Azazel. Open your eyes

      [sticks a cigarette in his mouth]

      John Hobbes: Look around sometimes.

      [lights his cigarette]

      Azazel: What's this? You don't smoke anymore.

      John Hobbes: You're right I don't. You know why? Because cigarettes kill. Especially cigarettes laced with poison.

      Azazel: Bullshit.

      John Hobbes: The same kind of poisons you used to kill my brother.

      Azazel: Uh, uh, fuck you.

      John Hobbes: Yeah I know. It was so sweet.

      [singing]

      John Hobbes: Time, is on my side. Yes it is.

      Azazel: Fuck you, motherfucker.

      John Hobbes: [picks up his gun] Goodbye, Jonesy.

      [shoots Jonesy, who is possessed by Azazel in the head]

    Better than you would expect
    This was actually a pretty clever supernatural thriller. When released it failed at the box office, but has deveolped a following since. It's quite fascinating, hardly ever boring, has a nice cast, and is pretty creepy. It probubly failed due to poor marketing, because if a piece of crapp like "Hollow Man"(2000) can be a hit, this film should definately have been a hit. If you like supernatural thrillers, this will be right up your alley. *** out of ****.

    FAQ17

    • Are the books Hobbes finds in the basement real books? And are they the same ones shown on screen with the lore? I'ld love to know their titles if so. I googled what I could but nothing relevant came up. I'm wondering if it was just the art department and the writers. Any insider info would be amazing, this is my favorite movie ever.
    • Why didn't Azazel simply escape prison while he was in the body of the serial killer Reese, in prison and awaiting execution?
    • Is Azazel a known demon, or was he invented just for the film?
