    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      A paved stretch of road with working streetlamps was built in the woods by the production crew for use in the film.
    • Goofs
      The ambulance is being driven in the rain and wind without a front window, yet there is no rain or wind coming in at all. Neither is the long hair of the driver moving due to the wind.
    • Quotes
      • Lizzy: My mom tells me there's no such thing as monsters. But she is wrong. They are out there, waiting for you... watching. They are in the dark... Sometimes where you see them... Sometimes where you don't. I know that now.
    • Crazy credits
      During the soft piano parts of the end credits, you can hear Lizzy and her mother screaming at each other (muffled, as if heard through a wall).
