    Storyline

    • Trivia
      There's a scene where the dad opens up an e-mail from the mom, with a YouTube-looking link (watch?v=FDhoqY1grJY). If you paste that video ID to YouTube, it redirects to The Darkness (2016) trailer.
    • Goofs
      The Anasazi Indians apparently spoke Tanoan, Acoma, Zuni, and Navajo, all Native American languages. However, they seem to understand the healers talking to them in Spanish, a language that is nothing like their languages.
    • Quotes

      Stephanie Taylor: We never talk about him, we never talk about how he affects all of us... it's getting creepier and creepier.

      Stephanie Taylor: Will you tell Michael to stay out of my room... he keeps leaving dirty hand prints everywhere.

    • Crazy credits
      The title doesn't appear until nine minutes in to the film.
    • Alternate versions
      A bleaker alternate ending was shot and test screened, where the Taylor family drive out and dispose the rocks into the ocean. Unbeknownst to his parents and sister, Stephanie, Michael still bears the fifth one, which causes the demon to drive the car off the cliff, striking and killing Peter and Bronny (sending their bodies airborne), and drowning Steph and Michael. The stones are then revealed to have washed up on the shore. When test audiences reacted poorly, the studio mandated a more happier ending to be shot. That aside, the scene can still be viewed on the Blu-ray.

    It is light viewing and a decent story
    I really don't know why people are writing comments slating this film.

    It is not a 'hardcore; horror that is likely to make you seek therapy for the rest of your life, but it is not dull or unwatchable either.

    The production is good, the acting is good, and it is the kind of film you can watch when you just fancy a 'movie night' with friends or family.

    The story is engaging enough to make it interesting.

    All these pseudo-intellectual ramblings criticising the film are just that - pseudo-intellectual.

    It is probably not the best film you will watch in your life but is it also very far from the worst.
