Well done!

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2000)

I thought that this was an excellent book that could never be made into a movie. Well I was wrong. It has been filmed and it was well done. The shocking killing scenes from the book are there, but you don't see it all in detail - because that would have been impossible to watch (if you have read the novel, you know what I mean). Christian Bale is an exciting and skillful actor of whom I like to see more. The direction, the use of music and the visuals were outstanding and the 80's era was extremely well recreated. Many scenes were almost directly adapted from the book, and even the sign with the last words of the novel was there (again, if you have read the novel...). DON'T WATCH THIS FILM if you think it's in the fashion of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and similar teen horror films, because it's certainly not. This is the best movie of the year 2000 so far. 1999 seemed to be a much better year for film - but this one is well worth watching.
THIS IS NOT AN EXIT
