Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene at the dock, watchful viewers will notice the stern of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter 'Alert' as the camera pans toward Russ and Zadok. The Alert just happened to be docked where the scene was shot, and the cinematographer lined up the shot so the name of the boat was visible, but no one noticed until editing that the name of the cutter was the same as the ship in H.P. Lovecraft's story 'The Call of Cthulhu'.

- Crazy creditsThe end credits say "The Automobile Associaton of America (AAA) is Congress' and the states' largest and most powerful organization lobbying for roads and sprawl and against environmental protection, mass transit and auto safety. If you are a member of AAA they are using your money to pursue this agenda. The Better World Club provides roadside service, towing and insurance at rates which match Triple A's. They did not pay us to say so. www.betterworldclub.com

Featured review
This "movie" was terrible. The DP should be shot. They clearly spent no time on development, rehearsal, or scouting locations. That the producer sold belongings to get this movie made is profoundly sad and I hope he received treatment for whatever malady caused him to feel such fervor for this film. Uwe Boll movies MIGHT be better and they are among the worst films around. I was especially disappointed in Cara Buono's performance as I have enjoyed her work before.
Characters smile at inappropriate times for no discernible reason. Camera work to set the mood was a complete failure and annoying in its presentation. Subplots are picked up and immediately ignored. Motivations are hazy at best. No special effects to enhance the story. Absolutely nothing of Lovecraft in this movie except the title. The highlight of the film was when I sent it back to Netflix. Ugh!
