Trivia
The New Orleans house was used as the house in Entretien avec un vampire (1994). It also once was owned by Nicolas Cage and the foyer chandelier hangs in the house.

Goofs
(at around 1h 25 mins) When Damian crashes Martin's SUV into the car in front, the airbags of the SUV (as seen from a long distance shot) clearly inflate. On the next shot from inside the car, Damian is still driving with no airbags inflated.

Quotes
Damian: It's metastasized. Liver and lungs. This morning the oncologist was talking about hospice care.
Martin: I'm sorry.
Damian: Don't be. What you and Judith went through, losing a child, that's a tragedy. An old man dying... I'm supposed to say, "That's life."

Who am I?

There are certain things that men (or women for that case) should not mess with. As in what nature is giving or taking away from us. The movie might make a case of that, if you want to look at it that way. It's Science Fiction alright, but it does have a moral core in it, that you'll either like or dismiss.

Whatever the case, I'm sure many like the general idea of the movie, and because it is a "secret", this could actually be going on right now. But whatever you believe (or not), this will challenge some of your views, for better or worse. It might be very easy to see where this is going, but it's still a ride worth taking (especially if you're fond of the genre)
