The short story was better, at least in part because the short story was shorter. The print version also benefitted from Clive Barker’s writing style, particularly the lack of need to explain every little detail. The movie takes a different approach, reducing a chilling tale down to a garden-variety serial killer picture. The result is a slicker version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the slickness is not an improvement. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
