    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The middle school scenes were shot at the now-defunct Patrick Henry High School in Stockbridge, Georgia. This is the same location used for both Hawkins Middle and Hawkins High Schools in seasons 1 and 2 of Stranger Things (2016).
    • 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.

    Bright Idea

    Not a bad film at all. Kept me interested and watching. The stunts and the gore were fabulous. The acting was great. The kid was very good in it. Decent atmosphere and music to go with it. Paves the way to another film should they do wish too. Entertaining.
