    • Trivia
      The radio station call letters "WOTW" are an homage to "War of the Worlds", a novel by H.G. Wells and, more aptly, its radio play adaptation by Orson Welles.
    • Goofs
      Whilst it's strictly true that geographically the radio station would begin with a 'K' - as it's a fictional station the WOTW station is undoubtedly a homage to the best radio/aliens show ever produced.....War Of The Worlds.
    • Quotes

      Mabel Blanche: I think at the lowest level, they send people on errands, and play with people's minds. They sway people to do things, and think certain ways - so that we stay in conflict, focused on ourself - so that we're always .. cleaning house, or losing weight, or dressing up for other people. I think they get inside our heads and make us do destructive things, like drink and over eat. I've seen good people go bad, and smart people go mad.

      Mabel Blanche: I think at the highest level they do things that cause nations to go to war. Things that make no sense. And I think no one knows they're being affected. We all work out other reasons to justify our actions. But free will is impossible with them up there. I've had an entire life to think about this. Years alone. And that's what I think.

    Intriguing retro sci-fi
    Call me the weird one, but this movie is trippy. Watching the story go in and out of drone photography, blackouts, black and white to color was fascinating. The director made it work, the acting was intriguing, watching the teenage girl scurry from place to place and all the charm of a trusting small town, well-it I loved it. Very unique.
