Worth noting that ''Harbinger Down'' was written and directed by Gillis and produced by Thomas Woodruff, Jr.; the founders of the special effects company Studio ADI (better known for their work on the ''{{Franchise/Alien}}'' franchise, ''Film/{{Tremors}}'' and ''Film/MortalKombat''). They had previously done PracticalEffects for ''[[Film/TheThing2011 The Thing]]'' prequel, however, most of their work was covered up by CGI in post-production.

* BadassGrandpa: Captain Graff
* BodyHorror: AND HOW. The effects of being infected by the tardigrades are... unpleasant, to say the least.

** Many references to the 1982 film: The opening scene, where an out of control spacecraft, infested with a monstrous creature, crashes at one of the Earth's poles, is a direct reference to the opening of JohnCarpenter's ''Thing''. The lunar capsule crashes on June 25 1982, the day ''The Thing'' was released, as well as pretty much when the events of that movie occur, as well. The phrase "Voodoo bullshit" shows up here, too.
