Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's concept derives from a recurring nightmare the director used to have, in which he would be stalked by a predator that continually walked slowly towards him.
- Goofs(at around 1h 20 mins) "It" would have no reason to climb on Jay's roof, always taking the most direct route to the cursed, through a door or window. However, when talking to Hugh/Jeff he says that "It" is still taunting him despite Jay being the most recent target. If Jay had sex with one or more of the men on the boat, as implied but never directly stated, then this would be a similar taunt.
- Crazy creditsThere are no opening credits at all, and the title does not appear on-screen until the end of the film.
- Alternate versionsThe volume level of the music was substantially louder in the theatrical version than in the 2015 Blu-Ray and DVD release.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Film '72: Episode #44.2 (2015)
Featured review
A solid film
While I am not sure this film is as advertised, "the best horror film in a decade," or how one would measure such a thing, my wife and I both enjoyed (I am not sure that is the right word) this film very much.
I think too often people confuse horror with slasher. Now, I am all about a nice Friday the 13th marathon, or the original Texas Chainsaw massacre, or even Halloween (1978 version), but these are not so much horror as slasher films. I think the distinction is important before one even begins to determine how they feel about a movie. Same thing with people who conflate a thriller like say, North By Northwest (a little old school, but hopefully you take my point) with a horror film. As my wife and I sat in the car trying to find the right adjective to describe this film, we landed on disturbing. The music was freaky, the concept of being pursed endlessly, any statement of sexual promiscuity the filmmaker might be trying to make, was all disturbing in our minds.
I would place this film with movies like Sinister, which my wife and I also "enjoyed;" best seen on a big screen with a massive tub of popcorn, holding the wife close.
I get that some people hate it; somebody always hates a film, song, TV show, play, book etc, while others think it is a perfect 10. For us, it was disturbing, and great way to spend about 90 minutes.
