    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The mask Brandon wears seems partially inspired by wasps. An early classroom scene he talks about how certain wasps place their young in a separate hive, getting others to feed them. This is a clear parallel to his situation.
    • Goofs
      Incorrectly regarded as a goof. Wild wolves did leave Kansas for a while, but have since started to return.
    • Quotes

      Brandon Breyer: Who am I?

      Tori Breyer: You're our son.

      Brandon Breyer: What is this? Where did I come from?

      Tori Breyer: Listen, baby, I... I know it's been difficult for you lately, that you feel different from other kids. You *are* different. After your dad and I got married, we prayed for a baby for so long, to God, to the universe, to anyone that would listen. One night, one perfect night, someone listened.

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: There are a few short scenes during the first part of the end credits where news reports and a conspiracy theorist reveal there are other super beings, including a half-man/half-sea creature and a witch who chokes her victims with a rope.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK version is cut in two scenes to reduce strong gory images in order to obtain a '15' rating.

    Is it a bird, is it a plane ...
    What would rhyme with that? Hmmm ... now maybe you've read the summary so you know. Or you just heard that it's a superhero horror movie. And boy is it a horror movie. This indeed is not meant to be shown to kids - level of violence is through the roof - no pun intended.

    As with many horror movies it does contain quite a few cliches - one of them characters being unable to see what is right in front of them. So while certain things could have been avoided ... it would not have made a good movie or only a short one. This aims to please or cover a certain base of viewers. You should know if you belong to them
