    • Trivia
      The surname of the family, Milgram, refers go the Milgram test of obediance to authority, a theme dominant throughout the film. It is also revealed that the family resides on Stanford street, a reference to the Stanford Prison experiment which studied similar themes of perceived power and authority.
    • Goofs
      The group makes three mistakes with the injections, which Anji's medical training should have prevented. First, Tony, the father, injects his intravenously, which the vast majority of vaccines should not be, and one ought to assume a mystery vaccine without instructions should not be. Second, they sterilize the hypodermics in boiling water rather than alcohol, evidenced by the steam rising from the bowl, but the heat risks damaging the medicine. Third, nobody swabs their skin with alcohol, which prevents infection at the injection site.

    Good Start Poor Finish
    A low budget British horror, which for 75% of the film is interesting, and thought provoking... The main problem is the last quarter, which gives the appearance that the director ran out of ideas and budget... It becomes a 'B' movie horror with special effects straight out of 1970s Dr Who... Such a shame..

    FAQ1

    • Nobody has even mentioned this so maybe it's me but WHY & HOW does the scene come about where, in the midst of the chaos & carnage in the house, Nick & Annji are suddenly shown sleeping on a blanket under an umbrella in a huge, peaceful field, Nick gets up and walks a few steps surveying the solitude & loveliness, Annji then opens her eyes and (I think) she smiles at him then BAM back to the craziness. I thought that might be their finale brought forward but not according to the rest of the movie. It's also absolutely nothing like any other scene in the movie. I watched on Netflix so I don't think it's an editing glitch. What does it mean?? Somebody put me out of my misery please!
