Supermarket Name - Hastings


I take it this was intentional, -the supermarket is Hastings, and the bill for the final customer was 10.66 ?
The famous British 'Battle of Hastings' (featured in the Bayeux Tapestry) when William The Conqueror defeated King Harold, (got an arrow in the eye) took place in -yes, 1066

Hey, this is Ben Rock, the director of the film. I've stayed off of this board for obvious reasons (the film hasn't been released yet, and I tend to find it lame when directors go on these boards to defend themselves). But I've read everything and enjoy hearing whatever the audience has to say - good and bad.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that not only are you right about this, but you're the FIRST person to ever point it out. Whether you liked or hated the movie, I appreciate your knowledge, detective work, and interest.

Now that is observant and very impressive.

I quite liked this movie and toward the end couldn't help thinking that a prequel with a bigger budget could work well as there seems to be an awful lot of interesting back story that is really only briefly touched on. Perhaps the chap from 24 could be that too.

There was also a UFO poster/ad on one of the doors in the refrigerated section. Did anyone else catch any other hidden items in the movie?

Great movie by the way, Ben.
