    • Trivia
      There's a scene where the dad opens up an e-mail from the mom, with a YouTube-looking link (watch?v=FDhoqY1grJY). If you paste that video ID to YouTube, it redirects to The Darkness (2016) trailer.
    • Goofs
      The Anasazi Indians apparently spoke Tanoan, Acoma, Zuni, and Navajo, all Native American languages. However, they seem to understand the healers talking to them in Spanish, a language that is nothing like their languages.
    • Quotes

      Stephanie Taylor: We never talk about him, we never talk about how he affects all of us... it's getting creepier and creepier.

      Stephanie Taylor: Will you tell Michael to stay out of my room... he keeps leaving dirty hand prints everywhere.

    • Crazy credits

    It is light viewing and a decent story
    I really don't know why people are writing comments slating this film.

    It is not a 'hardcore; horror that is likely to make you seek therapy for the rest of your life, but it is not dull or unwatchable either.

    The production is good, the acting is good, and it is the kind of film you can watch when you just fancy a 'movie night' with friends or family.

    The story is engaging enough to make it interesting.

    All these pseudo-intellectual ramblings criticising the film are just that - pseudo-intellectual.

    It is probably not the best film you will watch in your life but is it also very far from the worst.
