I agree with all the thumbs down reviews, and am totally puzzled by anything rated higher. This is the worst film adaptation from a thrilling novel, ever. The characters are totally wooden, poorly selected, no chemistry, & what the hell is Yar doing in this movie? What the hell is she doing in any film?I especially enjoyed that the family, knowing how dangerous the road was, sits close to the road & lets the toddler run right into the road: smack. The acting is horrid, the whole movie is poorly cast. I did like that the father-in-law belted the irresponsible Dad at the funeral. He should've taken out his own daughter while he was at it. Idiot parents.....but then, this is one idiotic movie.I heard the sequel is even worse. That's all I need to hear. Hopefully you all too.
