Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe script is based on the widespread urban myth (started in the early '90s) surrounding the claim that Russian scientists in Siberia had drilled so deep that they had broken through into 'hell' and recorded the 'screams of the damned' emanating from the borehole. This claim turned out to be a hoax spread by a Scandinavian prankster who wanted to demonstrate human gullibility. However, by the time he owned up to the prank, the myth had fueled such a following, that his retraction was interpreted as an attempt to cover up 'the truth'.
- GoofsThomas often used the term "over and out" to end radio conversations. "Over" means "I have finished speaking and am awaiting a reply." "Out" means "I have finished the communication." "Over and Out" should never be used together in serious radio communication.
- Quotes
Jennie Christianson: I don't mean to sound insensitive, but I've seen what can happen when people abandon reason... you could get seriously hurt. You're a good man... but there's no point in having thick armour on the outside if your own worst enemy is within.

Featured review
It's one of those movies that had potential but somehow does not really uses it.
The storyline is your typical ingredients for a good psychological thriller/horror movie that constantly has you and the viewer questioning their mind. A man is sent to a deserted drill site in the Sahara desert, where a series of unexplained deaths have taken place. As soon as he arrives, a mysterious woman appears who claims to be the survivor of the scientific team, but who is she really ?
Already at the start the movie just rushes by without letting the atmosphere really do its' work. And as soon as the storyline really gets off, the film deteriorates into one big confusing mess. It just uses the same old "hallucinations within an hallucination within an hallucinations etc." formula over and over again ad tedium.
The female character barely adds anything to the storyline, she's just eye candy and the ending still doesn't explain anything about her.
Shame, because the movie did have some potential. Oh well, still better than Rob Zombie I guess.
