Title: Poor Film Adaption of a Good Book
Review: Read the book! it is shame that the novel is listed as only a "basis" for the film. (Elsie the seductive neighbor, the surprise "twist" at the end, Anne's struggle as a wife to understand Tom's condition-all left out. Why?) I think if they used more of the novel's elements the movie would have done better in light of the blockbuster "Sixth Sense" The acting is good, a few suspenful elements in the film, but Bacon' plays Tom Wallace as a ignorant blue collored worker that doesn't really tap the author's character in the book. I'm glad I rented it, but angry at the hatchet job Hollywood perform on a very good book.
Is the review positive or negative?
