Rape of the original book

Rating: 4/10 (2 August 2017)

If this wasn't based on the book by Richard Matheson, it would be just another silly sci-fi flick. Still a very bad one, but one of many.
Problem is, it is based on the book, a great one, but the message is fully reverted. It's not just an adaptation, it's a complete 180 degrees turn, almost as if the script writer hated the novel and purposely set on destroying its message.
No spoilers here, suffice to say that even the title does not make sense in the context of the movie, while it is central to the book.
I wish there was a law against adapting books without carrying the basic message more or less untouched. Turns out not only there isn't, but movie adaptations have the power to make boatloads of money, so I guess Matheson made some nice bucks from copyrights, and thus he might have been happy with the outcome. As a loving reader of his great story, I'm not.
