- Quotes
Steve Montgomery: Yes, it was the black guy this time.
- Crazy creditsThe title doesn't appear on screen until the end.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, the distributor was advised that the film was likely to receive a 15 classification but that their preferred 12A classification could be obtained by making some cuts and visual reductions. When the finished version of the film was submitted for formal classification, cuts had been made in two scenes. Cuts involved the removal of a violent act and subsequent discussion of this, with some bloody focus, reducing focus on bloody injuries, and reducing sight of a character being impaled. With these changes having been made when the film was formally submitted, it was classified at 12A.

Featured review
Superpowers without superheroes
I'm normally not a big fan of the handycam filming technique. In the beginning it was all new and okay but personally I think they should stop that technique. It doesn't do movies any good. Not that Chronicle is a bad movie though. It's definitely something else then the usual superhero movies that we see so much lately. Here three kids get telekinetic super powers after discovering a strange thing underground. What starts as a bit of fun quickly escalates in catastrophes. The story is easy to follow. It's different then the usual action heroes that use their powers to fight evil. The actors are all quite young and are not bad. Thinking about what they do with their powers makes me realize that I would probably try the same things. But it's all fiction. So all in all it's an entertaining movie to watch.
