    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Much of this movie revolves around the real life attempt by humans to explain evil. It is no accident that the childrens' parents represent the extreme sides of the debate: organized religion (pastor) and science (psychiatrist). In both cases, each parent is unable to explain their childrens' evil behaviour, either through psychology or spirituality. The somewhat nihilistic tone of the film is capped off by the fact that it provides no real answers, instead showing that both sides of the debate are unable to explain what evil really consists of, and what motivates the children to act the way they do.
    • Goofs
      During the water gun play in the Christmas scene, the son accidentally laughs when hit in the face with water. The sister glances at him and smirks slightly. The actors quickly go back to straight faces, so this was most likely unintentional.
    • Quotes

      David Poe: Turn the camera off.

      Clare: What? What happened, why...

      David Poe: He's throwing rocks at me.

    I feel dumber having watched this!

    This film was total GARBAGE1!

    Review on how to survive the apocalypse. It's clearly about how these 2 twins who can speak to each other in some weird language. They also behave rather oddly for children that age. I'm still baffled about the ice cream truck and what role that has to play in the ending?? It's been an hour since I've seen it, and already, I can't remember what I saw - it's just the most ridiculous underwhelming thing I've ever seen.

    Best of all, the mother is a shrink and father is a Lutheran Pastor, a convenient 'coincidence' that covers both the psychiatric and spiritual dilemmas. The ending leaves a lot to be desired. This may be the WORST film I've seen in a while. I only give it a 3 star due to the fact that these people can actually act - otherwise, this would have received a 1 star from me. The ending leaves a lot to be desired for.

    RECOMMENDATION: SKIP IT!! Unless you want to use the movie as a DARE to someone, like.... 'I hate this movie so much, If the Cowboys beat Green Bay' on Sunday, I'll watch this movie' and if I'm wrong, I will watch AND post a Review on how to survive the apocalypse. It's clearly about how these 2 twins who can speak to each other in some weird language. They also behave rather oddly for children that age. I'm still baffled about the ice cream truck and what role that has to play in the ending??
