Adapted from the widely acclaimed novel from Lionel Shreiver and with an overwhelming fanbase I feel a lot of people are fairly forgiving for some of the films failures. Having not read the book and being oblivious to its content I watched this with a clear pallet. The film successfully conveys a feeling of dread, but through a series of early flashbacks spoils the shock ending that the film ultimately builds to. The end reveal didn't quite work and didn't provide the payoff I was hoping for.
