when i hear that this movie be come out the night before halloween and i be very excited . when i find out that it be a book and write in 1978 and i have to read it before see the movie . i be sure the movie would have be much different to me if i have not read the book . the writer actually do a good job of stay true to the main plot of the book and with minor difference and naturally . i think the thing that disappoint me the most about the movie be boyle play the role of col. i be not a big fan of boyle and and it seem that no matter what the mood during the movie and she always try to use her over plumped lip and and darkly makeup ed eye to make herself seem super sexy . indeed and i think that the movie hold true to the genuine creepiness of the house . my favorite subplot be the sheehan family ( which be so weird b or c the son be kill in iraq and in current event there be casey sheehan whose mother go on a huge anti iraq tirade ) . in the book and obviously the war be not iraq and but rather and vietnam and and when the house turn on that video of the son in the helicopter and i be truly creep out . overall and i be impress with the movie and in that it follow the book very well .
