Review of Hideaway

Hideaway (1995)
2/10
Definitely the worst movie adaptation of a novel I've endured.
19 April 2012
Let me begin with saying, that the movie really isn't that bad. Just make sure you haven't read the book before. If you have, don't watch the movie. Key elements from the plot of the book is either left out completely, or altered so drastically that it has significant negative effect on both the story and for certain characters, the character development throughout the plot. Actually, this is the 3rd Koontz adaptation I've seen in recent history, and I actually thought it couldn't get any worse than "Watchers", but this one is. So far, the least worst movie adaptation I've seen, is "Mr. Murder". So my recommendation, if your going to rent a Koontz movie, is to avoid this one. Read the book instead. It will take more time but will definitely be worth it.
