Masterpiece that still doesn't compare to the book

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2018)

You've probably heard it innumerable times about countless movies: "The book was better!" Well, I've heard it too, and I've gotta say, it applies to this movie. Don't get me wrong, the movie was really good, but I still cannot shake the feeling that the book was more ... whole, complete.
I will not spoil any particular aspects of the plot, but I have to say that the ending in the book was waaaay better than in the movie. The book had more hidden messages to catch, meanings the decipher while the movie doesn't really give you as much. The movie meanwhile was more exhilarating due to the music on one hand (you cannot have books with the dramatic music), but also it is always more tangible once you SEE it, instead of reading it.
All in all, this is an outstanding horror / thriller movie that withstands the test of time, regardless of how much better (or not, depending on your opinion) the book is.
