The trailer made me laugh because it was so badly done. I enjoyed the book quite a bit, just because it was sort of a different take on this kind of situation. It's not often one sees a book about carnivorous plants. And the plant talking in the book was hella creepy, I don't care what anyone says. Probably wouldn't translate well to the screen. One thing I liked about the book was that it really didn't have a lot of "jump" scares - it was more of a low-grade feeling of terror and hopelessness that stayed from the time they went up the hill, onward. So the movie will probably suck, yeah.

And nowhere on the cover did it mention words like "major motion picture" or "theater near you". Now I will have to stop reading the book until after I see the movie, because reading the book first almost always ruins the movie. And it's the only book I have that I haven't already read. cries

However, if you want some chills you should keep an eye out for an upcoming release called Paranormal Activity. S. Paranormal Activity Katie and Micah were a promising young couple, with a carefree life, until bizarre events began occurring in their new home. Katie was no stranger to paranormal phenomena, as she had been stalked by a malevolent entity since childhood. They purchase a video camera in an attempt to find out what's happening as they sleep at night. Over the course of three weeks in September & October of 2006, they ran nightly surveillance and captured indelible proof on home video, which has been edited into a feature film. omcod i've thought of setting my camcorder to record me while i sleep. i'm too scurred.

And Katja, they've changed several things from the novel to the film, so it won't be entirely ruined for you.

Minerva-it was just that A Simple Plan was a great book, but not an uplifting one, that is for sure. I kept waiting for something good to happen...all for naught.

Creepy as hell but very well acted and directed. Sort of had homosexual overtones. Despite being well done it left me feeling uneasy and creeped out so I don't know that I would recommend it.
