    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The school in the movie is William Dawes Elementary. William Dawes was one of the riders who, like Paul Revere, warned the minutemen that British troops were coming, just as a child at his namesake school was trying to warn people what was coming.
    • Goofs
      When the police and teachers go searching for Lucinda in the school at night, they all use flashlights. They could have easily put the lights on instead, as nothing indicates a power outage.
    • Quotes

      Stacey: Well, what do you believe?

      John Koestler: I think shit just happens. But that's me.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits start with numbers which become/decode into words and names.

    Under-rated
    Ok, so Nic Cage may not be the actor of the century but he does do poe faced well, lol. However this movie is highly under-rated. Chandler Canterbury is fantastic and the special Fx are some of the best ive ever seen. The storyline is also thought provoking and new. My only gripe is the ending, which wouldnt have been my choice.
