A major disaster that should have been left in the glorious print where it was born. The Preston-Child book is a classic horror/thriller and this movie does it no justice.Possibly ok for a boring night, but that's it. Stick with the book and skip buying this one, unless you're a Preston-Child fanatic and want it to be able to say you have it.2 STARS FROM SCRAGGY'S TOMB OF HORROR DVD's.
