Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen James first enters the Pontifex Institute, the camera lingers on a painting in the hallway. The painting shows the cabin in which the four hikers shelter at the start of the film.
- GoofsThe film is set in the US but was largely shot in South Africa and the overseas shooting is inadvertently revealed when the protagonist looks at a blank VHS tape. It's an E-180; videotapes of that format used in America would begin with "T" (e.g. T-180). The E prefix stands for "European" and is used for PAL/SECAM systems; the T prefix stands for "Television" and is used for NTSC systems.

Featured review
This movie got absolutely reemed by the Disney acquisition of Fox. They had no idea what they had and how to market it and so it was pushed out late last year with a dumb poster and a misleading trailer that makes it out to be a Slender Man knock off. There are elements of that but then things get really weird. This is cosmic / Lovecraftian horror at it's finest and deserves to be seen by a lot more people.
I really can't say more than that but if you like the sound of weird nihilistic cults this is for you. I really hope brand new writer/ director David Prior gets to make more stuff.
