Review title: Buy the Book and Cross of the Title of the DVD to watch it
Product review: Many transfers of books to movies are less than perfect. "Misery" by Steven King - great book - poor adaptation on film, but viewable. "The Firm" by John Grisham - could not put the book down - movie: poor ending, but good acting, and enjoyable. "The Dark Half" is by far the weakest book to film I have seen. The book is excellent - descriptive, vivid, horrifying at times, one of King's best. I am not even sure if those who produced the screenplay even read the book - perhaps they picked up Cliff's notes. Anyone who enjoyed this film did not read the book. I did. That's what ruined it for me. If Hollywood wanted to package this with a different title, this incredibly short film may be palatable. Be forewarned: If you've read the novel, and you purchase this movie, you will be putting it up on the secondary market soon!
