Trivia

At around the 50 minute mark, Thomas Blackburn (Ted Levine) mentions a story by H.P. Lovecraft about a scientist using radio waves to be able to see creatures from another dimension in his own dimension. The story he is referring to is "From Beyond", written in 1920 and published in 1934 in "The Fantasy Fan" magazine.

User Reviews

Finders fee

There is no shortage of Found Footage movies right now, but this might be one of the first that goes 3-D with it. In select cinemas (or on your 3-D Player) that is of course. While that doesn't necessarily make the movie better, the addition of one Ted Levine ultimately does. Apart from our (pretty) female lead, he is the one people will remember from this movie very fondly.

The movie itself is tricky at times and has some nice little twists here and there. You'll have the usual "Don't go there" and "Look behind you" moments (mixed with the "No sane person would do that"), but overall the movie (and the actors) are selling it quite nicely. Not great, but a nice little horror movie to watch
