bloody awful
18 February 2007
The movie version was childish and plain awful. The acting was terrible. Everything was overdone. The short story version was MUCH BETTER, more subtle, less blatant. The movie is just alround bad. Kids and teens may get a scare out of it, but if you're grownup and you have a few marbles and have read the short story, you won't like the movie.

Too much narrative and dialog was copied straight out of the short story. The movie could have been so much better, even as a Halloween thriller.

Believe me, the short story version is far superior. Some of you, judging from the comments, are semi-literate, so you may want to brush up on reading, then have a go at the short story.
