Storyline

Trivia | The actors weren't given scripts but were given guidelines on how to behave or what to discuss in their scenes. See more » |
Goofs | (at around 18 mins) Towards the beginning of the movie, when Micah and Katie are talking with the psychologist, there is a hard cut from the doctor to Katie as the doctor is talking, but the dialogue does not skip. Since the movie is supposed to be entirely self-filmed footage, this would imply that either there were two cameras filming at once, or that they did a second "take" with the doctor, both of which are unlikely.

Quotes |
Katie:
You promised me - don't look at me like that! - you promised me you weren't going to mess with that stuff. Micah: No. I promised you I wasn't going to buy a Ouija board. I didn't buy a Ouija board. I borrowed a Ouija board. See more » |
