- TriviaJim Norman says "27 years ago they killed Wayne". Pennywise also comes back every 27 years in the novel IT by Stephen King.
- GoofsThe headstones of Richard, Vinny, and North show that they all are born in 1946/47 and died in 1963 - making them 16/17 at the time. Wayne's headstone shows that he is born on the 15th of January 1948, which makes him only about 1 year younger than the evil trio. However Wayne looks like he is at least 10 years younger than any of the three kids.

Vinnie Vincent: You always wanted to be like your brother, didn't you Jimmy?

Featured review
The Students from Milford
The unemployed high school teacher Jim Norman (Tim Matheson) finds a job in his hometown and moves with his wife Sally Norman (Brooke Adams) and their son Scott (Robert Hy Gorman) back in town. Twenty-seven years ago, his family left the town when Jim and his older brother Wayne (Chris Demetral) were bullied and Wayne murdered by a four-teenager gang in a lonely train tunnel. However, the gangster's car was hit by a train and exploded, killing Billy (Matt Nolan), North (Bentley Mitchum) and Vinnie (Nicholas Sadler); only Mueller (William Sanderson) survived. Soon Jim's best students mysteriously dies and are replaced by Billy, North and Vinnie that claim they are from Milford and harasses Jim and his family. What will Jim do to get rid of these demons?
"Sometimes They Come Back" is a creepy horror movie based on a short story by Stephen King even almost thirty years after its release. The tension is increased while the new students from Milford arrive in the high school where Jim is the history teacher. The screenplay entwines present with flashbacks and is scary and well-resolved. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Às Vezes Eles Voltam" ("Sometimes They Come Back")
