no and it not as good a the thing and but then few movie be . however it stand on it own merit a a very entertaining and intriguing movie which capture the isolation and personality quirk of those draw to it . i have to disagree with those who castigate perlman in this . i think he play the role extremely well . jealous and age and beat out by a young guy who be in many respect a good man with apostate set of belief and perlman play the part convincingly . in fact the acting be overall excellent throughout . there be slow tension build up in a remote setting with character who be engage and and a grow sense of doom and helplessness . what more could a horror movie ask . the amonsters aren not great but then they aren not really that important to the overall plot . just put the absurdity of the eco nut underlie theme out of mind and you will enjoy a creepy and well do dramatic film . and most likely learn what a rolligon be if you do not already know .
