Is this worth seeing?
I remember reading the book this is based on (Black Hope Horror) when I was younger, probably around 1995 or 1996. My recollection of the book is a bit vague, but I remember enjoying it. I've always had an interest in the paranormal and have read many books regarding hauntings, parapsychology textbooks, and the like. Somewhere I still have my copy of the book (picked up at Barnes & Noble on the cheap, as I recall) and I was looking it up because I'd like to read it again. I thought that it might be easier to buy another copy than to go digging for mine, but to my dismay, it seems to have gone out of print and hardcover copies like mine are fetching much higher prices than I'd like to pay for a book I already own.
However, in looking up the book, I discovered this movie. The DVD is available on eBay, but I'm a bit wary of buying it without knowing a great deal about it, and the reviews don't really tell me much, as most people don't seem to have read the book. So, my question is this: for someone who has read the book, is the movie worth a purchase? Or should I just find my copy of the book and give it another read? (Or even try to track down the Unsolved Mysteries episode or TLC's special?)
Thanks to anyone who can provide some insight. :)
