Review of Choke

Choke (2008)
4/10
This movie was terrible...
25 October 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this movie hoping it would at least closely resemble the book. Boy was I wrong. All the most important parts were left out. The movie mentions almost nothing of the most important themes in the book, which was the house built out of stone, and Victor being found out by his "saviors". They drastically changed the ending for the movie to the point where it changed the entire moral of the story. The acting was terrible. The film was grainy. The sound sucked. I couldn't be more disappointed with this film. I am a die-hard Palahniuk fan and went into this movie knowing that there were likely to be some differences that I would not like, but this movie hardly resembled the book at all. Because all the major themes of the book were omitted, I have to let this movie stand on it's own, as if I had never read the book, and Palahniuk's name was never attached to it. In doing so I have to say that this is the second worst movie I have ever seen in a theater.....
