Title: A strong work from a master writer.
Product review: Not one of Ira Levin's best, but still heads and shoulders above what most horror writers out there are cranking out. (And Mr. Levin's best [Rosemary's Baby, Stepford Wives, Boys from Brazil] are the defining classics of the horror genre.) I don't understand how the people below can recommend the movie, as it bore no resemblance to the book whatsoever.A taunt, exciting thriller that had me up late to finish it. Levin's forte is psychological horror, and here he deals with an ancient psychological terror and thrill, voyeurism, and gives it a very modern spin, while retaining mythical elements.If they had stuck to the plot, they could have made a great movie out of this.
