Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: (At 35:24) Luke Fraser puts an Art Gallery DVD into a standalone DVD player, whose remote control is clearly sitting on top of the player, but he interacts with the disc using a mouse as if it were in a computer's DVD-ROM drive. You can't connect a mouse to a standalone DVD player - it only works with its remote control.

Quotes:

Dan: In England this is called "breaking and entering".
Cassie Grant: I'm not going to break anything.

A Cool,Hip Thriller

Although The Gathering is not my favorite biblical horror film,this movie was really entertaining.Christina Ricci acted fabulously,of course,and all the lines and scenes were edgy and new.I really loved how when there would be something that is supposed to be creepy or scary,they wouldn't play stupid irritating music.They would just let it happen without any rhythms or beats,and I found that interesting.The twist I would say is really awesome.I would've never suspected it,and it came without warning which really blew my mind.The lines are good,and I might say some material was sleezy,cheesy,and cheap,but for the most of this movie the dialogue was steady.I had never heard anything about this movie when I first watched it,and now I consider one of my favorite movies.
