The dilapidated house that Hugh hid out in and that Jay and her friends explored is a house style called the American Foursquare. This style was popular from the 1890s through the 1930s. Many floor plans for the foursquare feature "circular" traffic patters where one can proceed through several rooms and return to the starting point without ever reversing the path: kitchen, vestibule, living room, dining room, and kitchen, for instance. In some homes, adjoining bedrooms shared closets and bathrooms. This kind of "fluid" floor plan would make this style of house particularly desirable if an escape from "It" was needed. See more »

Crazy Credits
There are no opening credits at all, and the title does not appear on-screen until the end of the film. See more »
Looks like a slightly above average high school film project. The score is horrible, "done in three weeks" yeah we can tell. Reminds me of an old (black and white) Doctor Who episode scoring. Acting is OK, but the plot is sluggish and weak. The pace is glacial though picks up a bit towards the end. The premise is illogical, pointless, and not explained at all. The high IMDb rating fooled me into watching, good job fake reviewers! I'll make sure to check into all the reviews next time a questionable movie pops up. Only good thing about the movie is it being set in Detroit and only because I'm familiar with the Detroit area. Would rate a 2 except for all the 4 and 5 star ratings. Take a pass on this "film".
