Trivia
Annwn or Annwyn (pronounted "a-non") is the land of the dead, the underworld or Afterlife, in Welsh mythology. It is said to lay far in the west and could be accessed by the living through a door located at the mouth of the Severn once a year. Surviving from pre-Christian Celtic mythology, it's neither Heaven nor Hell in the Christian sense, and the living can enter spiritually or corporeally.

Goofs
Ebrill is consistently mispronounced as 'Ebrith' ('Ebrydd' in Welsh, although there is no such Welsh word). There is no English equivalent for 'll' but it should be pronounced as something closer to 'Ebrych', similar to the 'ch' as in the Scottish 'loch' (although that sound also exists in Welsh).

Quotes
Adèlle: The night Sarah went missing, I saw a girl.
James: You saw a girl?
Adèlle: Yes, out in the yard.

Alternate versions
An alternate ending is included on the USA Region 1 DVD from Sony Pictures.

The Dark, pretty good movie to watch

This movie was pretty good. The acting was very good since they had a good cast. I enjoyed the girl playing the daughter and the other girl that comes later in the flick. We got a chance to see this movie for free, so no worries. It's worth renting if your in the mood for a suspenseful flick. It goes along with movies like half-light where a mother is stressing over their child for some reason or another. It could have been a lot better. The script was lacking in some parts, and the end was somewhat lackluster and confusing. I like it, nonetheless, but probably wouldn't watch it again. I'd suggest renting it though if your in the mood for a suspense flick.
