I do believe that there were a number of liberties taken with the literary material in this film though, so you may well notice those if you come to watch it. I may pick up the book at some point myself, despite not really being a novel reader - it's a great premise. It's a wonder it's not been remade already...

It scared the crap out of me but doesn't strike me as something that would hold up well nowadays. Have you seen both? If so, how do they compare? I'm very interested in seeing an adaptation as the book was pretty gripping for something written so long ago. I remember being reminded of the Romero zombie movies while reading it, too!
