* DuelingWorks: A week after this film, another horror movie was released... a scrappy, groundbreaking indie film called ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject''. Right on the heels of ''that'' came a major studio horror film dealing with the paranormal -- ''Film/TheSixthSense''! Simply put, both movies ran circles around this film -- ''Blair Witch'' turning a massive profit on a tiny budget and birthing an entire subgenre of horror, and ''The Sixth Sense'' becoming a massive SleeperHit to the point of Oscar nominations. Both films also did well with critics, whereas this big-budget Hollywood remake was laughed out of theaters by those same critics, barely breaking even before the end of its run and quickly fading into obscurity.

To add insult to injury, it even ended up being the less well-reviewed and less profitable than ''Film/HouseOnHauntedHill1999'', which was likewise a remake of a classic "haunted house" film co-produced by a high-profile director (in that film's case, Creator/RobertZemeckis).

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Dr Marrow has a cell phone in case of emergency. Naturally it gets broken and the characters can't contact anyone for help. These days the likes of Theo and Luke would definitely have one too. Eleanor perhaps not considering how repressed she was.
