    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film's concept derives from a recurring nightmare the director used to have, in which he would be stalked by a predator that continually walked slowly towards him.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 20 mins) "It" would have no reason to climb on Jay's roof, always taking the most direct route to the cursed, through a door or window. However, when talking to Hugh/Jeff he says that "It" is still taunting him despite Jay being the most recent target. If Jay had sex with one or more of the men on the boat, as implied but never directly stated, then this would be a similar taunt.
    • Quotes

      Hugh: It could look like someone you know or it could be a stranger in a crowd. Whatever helps it get close to you.

    • Crazy credits
      There are no opening credits at all, and the title does not appear on-screen until the end of the film.
    • Alternate versions
      The volume level of the music was substantially louder in the theatrical version than in the 2015 Blu-Ray and DVD release.

      Featured in Film '72: Episode #44.2 (2015)

    Lets talk impact-to-budget (I/B) ratio
    That is the only way to review this film.

    The goal of every journeyman film-maker from the beginning of the medium to the present, is to produce something that has the most impact per dollar spent.

    Think of the first Night of the Living Dead. Shot on location with unknowns and local residents as extras. And the local butcher donated the entrails.

    Think Ginger Snaps, which started as an obscure Canadian horror flick but found an audience because of the great writing and the charisma of its stars.

    What we have here is another attempt to strike film gold by going for a high I/B ratio.

    A small cast. Minimal special effects. No special sets or backgrounds.

    A really clever idea, sort of a take off on the Ring which itself was a riff off a Japanese horror classic.

    So what's the bottom line? Well done for what you get. Writer/Director Mitchell has a heck of a career ahead of him. Several "jump out of your seat" moments. And also a plot riff which you just know was contributed by some of the frat boys who crowd-sourced the film -- "you can get rid of the curse if you just sleep with someone, fast!"

    The bad news? It is not in the same class as Living Dead or Ginger. There are lulls. There are gaps. There are times you start to wish you have purchased the extra large popcorn and coke.

    Great career launch.
