    • Quotes

      Gary 'Jonesy' Jones: Fuck you.

      Mr. Gray: I know what that expression means. I've studied the foul language section of your memory warehouse. Rather distasteful, I must say.

      Gary 'Jonesy' Jones: How about this, Mr. Gray? Eat shit and die.

    • Crazy credits
      The Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow logos are covered in snow, while the Castle Rock Entertainment lighthouse beams its light across a lake covered in snow.
    • Alternate versions
      SPOILER: The DVD contains the original ending, in which Duddits defeats the alien using a special power, but is NOT revealed to be an alien. He then succumbs to his leukemia and dies. Jonesy and Henry then visit his gravesite in the final scene and sing "Blue Bayou."

    5.5 is way too low

    This is a pretty good movie. Exciting, nerve wracking and enough scary parts to keep you entertained. I don't get the low ratings honestly. I never read the book so maybe that favored in, but as a stand alone movie From 2003 I thought it was enjoyable.

    The guy from homeland sucks though. Worst actor ever.
