OK, I only saw 20 minutes or so of this movie, but I was flipping channels when I noticed the title. I am in the middle of this book and thought, "Oh Cool! I am reading this!" So I thought I could watch a bit of it and be okay. NOT!!! The movie started out with what I am guessing is the explanation at the end of the book. Talk about spoiler!! I changed the channel after only five minutes and would check back on it every once in a while. How knows, maybe I had the wrong story. Again...NOT! Then, at about an hour and a half through the movie (TV time), they show the first 100 pages of the book, and then not even as written. There was no reason to change what they did either. I don't want to be one of those freaks that itemizes every detail of the Star Wars flaws and composes it into a graduate thesis on it so I will say this - Boy - what a waste! Unfortunately, I have yet to see a decent Koontz movie made. Love the books. Read them instead. They are definitely worth the time.
