I viewed the trailer and it almost killed my imaginative view when I read the book itself, but thankfully I stuck with my "beliefs".
From what I hear the movie wasn't all that good, but I do suggest reading the book, which has now become one of my favorites.
I just finished reading the book, which I agree was excellent. I never heard of this movie before and now am curious to see the comparisons. I see in the trivia section that Dean Koontz wanted his named removed from the movie because it was such a bad adaptation.
I had to add on....
I just watch the trailer. Wow. I shouldn't have. Regina isn't supposed to be like that!! Who is this psychic character? Glad I read the book first so I know how good is was supposed to be.
"I'm a star. I am a big bright shining star. Yeah, that's right."
I just saw the movie and it was a really bad adaptation. I really reccomend you not watch it.

This problem has occurred with every movie adaption of a book ever made.
The only way to enjoy a movie adaptation of a book, is to view them as two seperate entities.
Try "The power of one" by Bryce Courtney. "Cabal" by Clive Barker.
Actually, anything by Clive Barker. Anything by Stephen King.
The movie is always dissapointing compared to the book.
As a movie on its own, I thought this wasn't too bad.
I can't believe a 19 year old is playing the role of a 10 year old girl in the book. I can only persume the two characters are completely different which is a shame because the Regina character in the book is great :(
The same thing happened in Phantoms, a young character is played by someone in their late teens ><

I actually prefer the movie to the book. Thought the book was overlong and very boring. Didn't care for the characters at all. You care for Goldblum and his family more and really grow to hate Sisto who portrays Vassago perfectly.
