Goofs

Near the end when Eva escapes the bunker (1h:56m:19s) the camera pans down and she is seen walking through a body of water. The left side reflection in the water clearly does not match the CGI background.

Quotes

Mickey: Shame we let those bodies go rotten.
Sam: What do you mean?
Mickey: You ever heard about that rugby team that survived the Andes?
Sam: Their plane crashed.
Bobby: They were forced to eat their friends and family. They survived up there for months.
Mickey: They ate everything - ears, toes, assholes.
Bobby: Uh-huh, arms, legs, brains, the spleen. The only thing they didn't eat was the penis. If worse comes to worst, you all have full permission to eat my body. Yeah, you do. But not my penis. Nobody - nobody but nobody eats Bobby's ...

User Reviews

Most underrated and hated movie EVER, don't know why though!

This has to be one of best physiological thriller movie I have ever watched and I have a watched a lot.. a lot of thriller movies.

I don't know why people hate this movie so much. Don't go for negative comments, you would miss a great GREAT film. This movie has so many negative comments because this movie has very strong elements of violence, graphic and sexuality which can't be digested by many people.

This movie is definitely not for children and even teens. This movie may have a strong physiological effect. Me and friends discussed this movie for months. You need to have a strong stomach to watch this movie.
