Please - read the book
19 February 2019
Ira Levin's novel on which this movie is based is one of the cleverest, tautest thrillers I've ever read. One twist in particular has made everyone I know start the book again in disbelief and re-read the entire narrative up to that point before continuing.

I was almost in tears when I saw how this ingenious plotting has been totally shredded to make a cheap pot-boiler of a film. Most of the book's twists are even revealed in the IMDB synopsis of the film.

Since you've presumably already read the synopsis it's a bit futile my writing this. Still, for what it's worth, if you're considering renting this movie please, I beg of you, save the money and buy a copy of the book.
