I found the movie to be a little BETTER than the book (probably the ONLY case where I've found this true).

Lol, great point.  The movie is never as good as the book, only in rare
instances like "The Shining" and "Carrie" , they were pretty good.
What disinterested you in the movie?  For me, it was not hearing the vivid
thoughts that ran through Paul's head throughout his ordeal.  That was the
whole novel IMO


I agree with you on that..and the fact that there were so many good things
from the book that needed to be in the movie, but weren't. It was a good
movie, but I think it could have been better. There is only one movie in my
opinion, that is just as good as the book..and that's The Exorcist.  I saw
the movie first, then read the book, expecting the book to be so much better,
and I was suprised..even though both the movie and the book scared the hell
out of me..lol
