TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The film draws from elements of Irish folklore such as the concept of Changelings (children being replaced by fairy folk) and Fairy Forts (the ruins of neolithic tombs scattered all over Ireland that are associated with many local traditions and folklore and are often thought to be portals to the Otherworld).

There are several nods to The Shining in this movie, including the score itself, the overhead shot of the car driving, the pattern on the wallpaper after Sarah finishes it and someone dragging an unconscious person on the floor.

The movie opens with the sound of a singular piano note. The last scene in the movie ends with that exact same piano note which is then repeated. This "copied" note mirrors the replication theme of the movie and the fear of the mother that her saved son could be just another clone in the end.

Popular Dialogues

"Sarah O'Neill: Something's not right with him."

"Chris O'Neill: Dad would've killed it for me. Sarah O'Neill: I'm not Dad."
