Trivia
The middle school scenes were shot at the now-defunct Patrick Henry High School in Stockbridge, Georgia. This is the same location used for both Hawkins Middle and Hawkins High Schools in seasons 1 and 2 of Stranger Things (2016).

Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as a goof. Wild wolves did leave Kansas for a while, but have since started to return.

Quotes
Brandon Breyer: Who am I?
Tori Breyer: You're our son.
Brandon Breyer: What is this? Where did I come from?
Tori Breyer: Listen, baby, I... I know it's been difficult for you lately, that you feel different from other kids. You *are* different. After your dad and I got married, we prayed for a baby for so long, to God, to the universe, to anyone that would listen. One night, one perfect night, someone listened.

Crazy credits
SPOILER: There are a few short scenes during the first part of the end credits where news reports and a conspiracy theorist reveal there are other super beings, including a half-man/half-sea creature and a witch who chokes her victims with a rope.

Alternate versions
The UK version is cut in two scenes to reduce strong gory images in order to obtain a '15' rating.

What I dislike most about this movie is how much better it could have been.

There's not much else to say. The concept of this movie is very interesting. Unfortunately, the acting and the story leave much to be desired. I really wanted to like this movie more because the plot descriptions are so cool.

I wish they had put more effort into this movie. It could have been great.
