Don't watch if you've read the book.

Rating: 2/10 (22 December 2019)

I literally made an imdb account just to write this review. This movie is trash and a disgrace to the book. I'm watching for the second time with my husband and realizing I made a huge mistake. The cast is great, but the way the characters are written is absolutely shameful. Ben's whole purpose in this film is to be in love with Beverly. That's about as deep as his character goes which is sad because he's so well rounded in the book. The CGI is terrible and there are so many bad jump scares it's almost hilarious. Bowers' character is completely pointless. And wtf was up with the ritual of chud? It's like the writers forgot what happened in the book and, instead of referring back to the source material, just pulled some things out of their backs. If you have read the book, you will HATE this movie. You're better off watching the miniseries.
I gave this film two stars because Bill Skarsgaard and the rest of the cast (based on other films) is amazing.
