The movie is by no mean a flawless adaptation of the book, but it captures its feeling of melancholy just perfectly.Elissonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299361897381169534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10785416.post-392110017713619272007-10-31T12:49:00.000-07:002007-10-31T12:49:00.000-07:00I concur with Mr. Keenan--I prefer your list over ...I concur with Mr. Keenan--I prefer your list over RT's, simply because you've achieved a better balance between older and modern horrors.<BR/><BR/>Seeing your well-written rave about <B>The Innocents</B> (1961) has inspired me to add it to my horror movie viewing this evening (I've never seen it: I own a copy, but have never unwrapped it). The only thing more surprising than this shocking bit of news is that I've seen <B>Ginger Snaps</B> and you haven't (it's a well-made flick, though the ending didn't completely satisfy me).Ivan G Shreve Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067177808320053382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10785416.post-61384316550955392072007-10-31T10:45:00.000-07:002007-10-31T10:45:00.000-07:00The Rotten Tomatoes list does skew too much toward...The Rotten Tomatoes list does skew too much toward the modern, but yours more than makes up for it. <I>Goke</I> was on TCM just the other day. And I'll second the recommendations that you catch <I>The Descent</I> and particularly <I>Ginger Snaps</I> at the first opportunity.
