Amazing.

I can’t help feeling that there were several layers here that could have been explored further for something more deeper, more significant. I’m told that the book is better (isn’t that always so?) but I enjoyed the movie in a morbid sort of a way. Throughout the movie I just kept wondering…why don’t they just leave, why don’t they just run away..the strange things people do, the stranger reasons they have for doing them..all the complexities of human emotions.

some really pertinent details of this book were cut or changed for the movie. i really enjoyed the film but can’t help but think the title lost its significance due to the changes. unfortunate.

A movie this poignant deserves a second viewing – especially since it keeps up with my personal tradition of watching disturbing, sad, horrific, scary films on special holidays. Happy New Year! …wait, you watched a movie about what?

Exactly.
