    • Trivia
      The film was released on file sharing sites by the director Richard Schenkman, who stated, "In order to make sure that every single person in the world who wants to see the movie has access to stream or download it, we are uploading it ourselves to the filesharing community."
    • Goofs
      (at around 46 mins) When John returns from the woods, he opens the driver side door of his truck. The window changes from open in the shot from outside the truck, to closed in the shot from inside. Then, when he drives off, the windows is open again. This was possibly done intentionally to avoid reflections of the camera crew, but it is still a continuity error.
    • Quotes

      John Oldman: So is there a plan or are you guys just winging it?

    • Crazy credits
      After the first credits with cave drawings, there is an additional scene that involves Arthur Jenkins and the authorities.

    I've shouldn't have watched it
    IMHO first movie was everything: Interesting, clever, intriguing, intelligent, captivating, just continue with superlatives... Heck, I registered here just to be able to rate it, and I've praised it to my friends. Most of them liked it as well. I was thrilled when I've heard about this sequel and I was eager to watch it. Now I would like to un-watch it, because it was completely unnecessary, it actually destroyed mystique of first movie.
