Saw the film at a screening, I'm telling all my friends...
An instant classic. At once, it demands respect for its efforts. Creating an original film amidst the money-press-like formulaic cookie-cutters is reminiscent an act of rebellion against "the man", and this film has done a beautiful job of sticking it to 'em.

This is just an example of how a movie should be made, and I don't say things like that lightly.

Hell, you know it's going to be interesting when Neilson can only compare and contrast it with things like Memento and Donnie Darko on their little questionnaire. Rock on for intelligent life out there, keep it coming! I for one can't wait till it's released so I can watch for the things I know I missed! -Cognac

Trivia

Production designer Jodie Lynn Tillen recalls local authorities telling them that while they could film at/in the tunnel they couldn't guarantee their safety. It was a runoff tunnel, prone to rushing water, but the filmmakers persevered. "It'll just add to the tension of the scenes," adds Johnson.

Quotes

Goofs

When Brendan confronts Kara for the third time, she is wearing a choker with a huge flower on it. The flower keeps moving from the side of her neck to the center of her neck between shots.
