Trivia:
When Elizabeth finds Father Malone in the cemetery, he is sitting next to a tomb which has been spray-painted with the words "MENE MENE TEKEL EUPHARIN". She asks what it means, and he simply says "It's from the Bible - it's the "writing on the wall"". The words should read "MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN", and are from the book of Daniel. The story is found in Chapter 5, and the words were originally written by fingers upon the wall of the palace of King of Babylon. Loosely translated, they were a pronouncement of judgment and coming retribution on the unjust King. more
Goofs:
Continuity: The windows in Nick's truck are all blown out by the fog when he and Elizabeth are driving through town that night. After they pick up Andy, they hit a figure in the fog and get splatters all over the windshield. more

Author: war_cat2 from San Diego (aka Kirk)

I saw this opening night and let me tell you. The first hour is so bad that at least a half dozen people got up and left. The lady behind me puked half way thru the movie as well (I think because the movie made her nauseous). The last 1/2 hr does have some cool cinematography but not enough to save the film from the horrible creation it is. Bad acting, horrible script writing, stereo- typical characters with less than 1-dimension. Leave well enough alone (the 1980 original). ___SPOILER BELOW____ The best (funniest) part of the film comes when the lead lady watches a videotaped segment of some murders and we see the hilarious reaction of guy who hid in the freezer. "Just chillin'" he was. :-)

We also get an infamous horrible script writing one-liner "What's going on here?".... see if you can spot it.
