Two Envelopes And A Phone’s Reviews > The Undying Monster > Status Update

I am really enjoying this. I don’t want to malign the 1940s film too much until I do a re-watch, but my memory is telling me they took much of what makes this a layered, sophisticated Horror story with complex underpinnings, and simply ripped it all that out, to make a simplistic movie version.

Vague memories of the old film version mean that I have a bit of an edge in figuring out what is actually going on in this book...but I have to be a little careful when it comes to assumptions. Movies can change things...or, wait...was there not a final twist that upset the first reveal? Whatever I think I know, this has been creepy fun, so far.

I’ve seen the film, but not for a while. I’ll likely revisit it, after the book.
