Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere'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.
- GoofsThe 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 creditsThe title doesn't appear until nine minutes in to the film.
- Alternate versionsA 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.

Featured review
All wrong with Navajo ways
I am Diné (Navajo) and I am giving this movie one star because the acting was good. But the story line is way off. First of all Anasazi to Navajo is "ancient enemy", Second we don't speak Spanish nor use Christian symbols for ceremonial purposes and third at least use a real Navajo and the one that is fluent in Diné Bizaad (Navajo language). I am sure they can find one person on the rez. We all still practice our culture and ceremonies (medicine men) to this day. Its funny they use Hopi Kachinas as Anasazi people. (Different) Haha, way way way off! Please better educate yourself Hollywood. And no Navajos don't have teepees, we have Hogans.
