Title: An insult to the book - Skip it
Product review: This movie was so far from the book, it should have had a different title altogether.The best parts of the book were left out: the fact that Chris and Cathy became the true parents of the twins (Movie Carrie continued to believe in her mother until the end while Book Carrie and Cory come to see Cathy as their mother). Chris and Cathy's romance is essential as a theme of the book because it parallels the 'evil breeds evil' theme that the grandmother believes in and what the children come to realize later: what *true* evil is.If the movie was going to be made, the filmmakers should have at least had the courage to do it accurately. People like the book for a reason. The ending was understandable (there had to be closure to the movie; they weren't making a mini-series) but ridiculously executed. It fit with the rest of this ho-hum movie perfectly.
