    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Miles is compared to David Bowie due to having two different colored eyes, commonly known as Heterochromia. However, David Bowie didn't have this condition. He actually had Anisocoria: one pupil is bigger than the other. It was this condition that made his eyes look different colors.
    • Goofs
      David Bowie's eyes were the product not of heterochromia but a teenage fistfight with his school pal (and, later, lifetime artistic partner) George Underwood over a girl that resulted in anisocoria, a condition in which a person's eyes have different-size pupils.

      Sarah Blume: You took my son's soul... you can't have his body

      [is suddenly shot by a farmer]

      Miles Blume: [pretending to be scared] She was going to kill me

      Sarah Blume: [dying] No... no... no

    What movie did you guys watch?!
    Okay listen, me and my friend are horror movie lovers, and we don't know anything about how they should he made. BUT we seriously loved this movie, I don't scare easily, but I was seriously sitting on the edge of my seat throughout the entire film. Usually im not very impressed by children's acting skills, but this kid played it of pretty darn well if you ask me. Dont listen to all the people saying its bad, because its not.. <333
