Trivia:

When Marty asks Abe if he thinks he is a super hero he refers to Abe as "Captain Tight Pants". Nathan Fillion (who plays Abe) was also referred to as "Captain Tight Pants" when he played Capt. Malcolm Reynolds in the TV series, _"Firefly: The Series" (2002)_ .

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The phrase "Tria mera" isn't proper greek, nor is it how "third day" is in the Bible. In greek "third day" is "triti mera". "Tria" means three and "triti" means third. The actual phrase from the bible is also "triti mera". Furthermore, if you try to turn "Tria mera" to numerical value using the greek numericals, you get 557 and not 666. Using the movie's numerical values, "triti mera" would have a value of 1074. However, "Tria Mera" does work if you take into account that the numerical values of letters are different for lowercase vs. uppercase.

Quotes:

Henry Caine: [repeated Line] And on the third day... Christ rose again... but what about the devil?

Very good... for the first 3 quarters.

I wasn't expecting anything too good but i was pleasantly surprised. This is fast paced, seems fairly believable and was genuinely creepy in places. The acting was pretty good too and you really felt for the characters. There were some nice twists and the film moved along at a nice pace.

I would have absolutely loved this if only it had a better/different ending. To me it just didn't make any real sense for the last few minutes and what sense i could make of it left too many loose ends and unanswered questions.

Still it deserves 8 of out 10 for being a superb film for the most part.
