i actually saw the movie before i read the book . when i saw the movie i be upset because i wonder why dean koontz have make such a bad book or movie . the movie be confuse and do not have a flow at all and it be choppy and make me want to throw a rock at the tv . i couldn not connect with the character at all and so i do not care about what happen to them ( normally i love the character because i can relate to their personality or problem ) . then i read the book and love it . i often re read the book and and the movie be collect dust . i wish someone would make a koontz movie that follow the plot of his book and then the movie wouldn not suck so much . do not watch this movie unless you need to waste money .
