Title: Save Yourself Some Money and Buy the Book Instead
Review: When Golding wrote Lord of the Flies it was an instant classic. This movie is a very cheap imitation of that masterpiece. The acting is very bad and the plot cuts out many of the subtle nuances from the book. The utter inhumanity and brutality that were present in the book do not come across as well in the movie. The worst part about this movie was the fact that it changed the "beast" from human nature into an adult who wanders into a cave and dies. It gets a star because of the amazing camera shots. Buy the book and if you already have read it, then don't get this movie.
