Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on a short story from the horror anthology "Nocturnes" by John Connolly.
- GoofsJames and his contractor prepare a batch of ANFO (ammonium nitrate + fuel oil) to blow up the mound. This is a 'tertiary' explosive, which means you cannot set it off with fire. It would just burn. To set off the detonation, you need to explode a secondary explosive, like a stick of dynamite, which in turn needs to be set off with a primary explosive, like a blasting cap.

- ConnectionsFeatures Dexter's Laboratory: Changes (1995)
Creepy and frightening film with fantastic events, thrills, chills, suspense and nail-biting scenes. This is an acceptable horror movie in which tension, intrigue and terror goes in crescendo. Cast is pretty well. As starring Kevin Costner is nice as disturbing father who becomes involved into strange events, Ivana Baquero is enjoyable as the middle-school aged teenager who suffers a rare fascination, coming home covered with mud and sleepwalking . Support cast is frankly good such as Samantha Mathis as the worried professor Cassandra, Noah Taylor as Professor White, Eric Palladino as a police officer investigating the eerie events, Lafferty as the babysitter. And special mention for James Gammon as an old man who knows about the extraordinary events and he has some tracks about the ghastly case.
It packs a thrilling and suspenseful musical score by Javier Navarrete. As well as an adequate but dark cinematography by Checco Varise. The motion picture was professionally directed by Luiso Berdejo, though it has some flaws and gaps. Berdejo is a good craftsman, being especially known for his scripts, as he has written : El guardian invisible, Rec Genesis, Quarantine, Quarantine terminal, Violet, Insensibles, Tres 60. He has directed a few films as Kalebegiak (segment), Violet, The new daughter and some shorts. Rating : 6/10 .Decent terror and supernatural film. The picture will appeal to Kevin Costner fans.
