Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe name of the city in the film is Terminus. The movie was filmed entirely in Atlanta, Georgia which was originally called Terminus when it was settled in 1837.

- Quotes
Anna: What if my party guests show up?
Clark: Anna, I don't know if you know this, but there is some seriously insane shit going on out there right now. People are losing their minds.
[Clark goes to turn off the TV]
Clark: There's a bad sector in the electromagnetic spectrum which is causing a rift in logical thinking. Rational behavior has given way to primal... primordial action.
[Anna sees someone on fire outside]
Clark: We've reached a critical juncture in the consistency of everyday living. Societal norms are being completely abandoned. Anarchy has replaced etiquette. Chaos is the ruling class of this civilization, so I think coming to a goddamn New Years Eve party is the last thing on people's minds!
