Trivia
At one point Paul is putting on a mask and says "Ain't got no spit," which is the same line Hooper says in Jaws (1975) before putting on his mask and entering the cage.

Goofs
While preparing to move the bomb, Paul removes his watch and tosses it in his backpack, which he asks Chato to take with him when exiting the Rig. However, during the Prayer Circle, the watch is back on Paul's left wrist, with which that hand is holding Tommy's right hand. A camera pan around the circle comes back to Paul, and the watch is not on his left wrist, which is still holding Tommy's right hand.

Quotes
Junior: So, you do believe it's Tlaloc?
Paul: No. But I know a big-ass shark when I see one.

This movie is a joke

I had expectations that it will be at least a honest horror movie with tension moments, jump scares and things like that. But I was very very disappointed.

The movie has no sense at all the action is very illogical, the actors do not know how to act it seems like a movie made by high school students with a script written in the break time.

The idea of the movie is good on paper and a very interesting take on the subject but the acting, pacing and overall atmosphere of the story has no connection to reality.

This movie is a big waste of time and money I do not recommend it at all, I have seen the actors in other movies I do not understand why the acting is so bad in this one.
