Not to mention the dad flashbacks and necrophilia themes. I can't imagine those translating well to film, if at all. Especially the dad stuff...
I really want this to be a faithful adaptation, as it was one of the most terrifying book experiences I've had, but I don't see that happening. Big changes are going to have to be made in order to make this appropriate for audiences.
It's being distributed by Netflix, so I wouldn't worry. They are less inclined of making a profit because their films aren't usually released theatrically.
