    • Trivia
      The film is an adaptation of a 2010 graphic novel by writer Pierre-Oscar Lévy and artist Frederik Peeters called Sandcastle. When asked what inspired him to adapt the book to film, director M. Night Shyamalan explained: "The book gave me the opportunity to work through a lot of anxieties I had around death and aging, and things like my parents getting older."
    • Goofs
      Rust does not poison the blood, as stated by Prisca. It can contain bacteria causing tetanus, which can lead to death by causing violent muscular spasms, but still not poisoning the blood.
    • Quotes

      Guy: We're we fighting about something?

      Prisca: We were.

      Guy: Well... whatever it was, I'm not mad anymore. I can't remember - why did we want to leave this beach? So beautiful... It doesn't matter. It's funny, I forget the word... it's about my feelings for you.

      Prisca: I know.

    7/10
    An enjoyable movie.
    I have read several really bad reviews about this film, and the last film or two I watched from Shyamalan were average at best, but there was something about this film that I did enjoy.

    It flew by, it wasn't slow or dull, nor was it particularly scary, instead it relies on the primal fears many have (self included) about the ageing process, and the passing of time, if you are someone who has the slightest worry of time passing, this will resonate.

    The location work is awesome, and the production values are superb. Great acting throughout, it's always great to see Rufus Sewell's cheekbones.

    Not sure if it was my ears, but I found some of the dialogue a little muffled at times.

    All in all, this was good, 7/10.
