Stephen King‚ the master of horror in literature‚ once said “Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit‚ but taste completely different”.This brings to question how horror differs in novels and films. For a long time‚ reading books and watching movies has been a common interest of both teenagers and adults. We not only watch movies and read books about comedy‚ romance‚ adventure‚ and drama; we also crave horror. We can trace the literary genre of literature all the way back

In the end‚ the movie was finished out almost lazily. While the plot and acting definitely assisted the film in being successful and the best movie adaptation that exists as of now‚ it lacks things it needs. The tone of the storyline is something very easy to mess up when playing around with it‚ along with the filming mistakes. The movie was creative‚ and I will praise it for that to the best of my abilities‚ but if you’re looking

girl. Last year‚ when there were no new movies out in which I was interested in‚ I decided to give Scott Pilgrim vs. the World a chance due to my obsession with Michael Cera‚ the main character. I was very hesitant at first‚ because the movie is based on a graphic novel‚ which obviously meant a lot of sci-fi and comic-con scenes that are‚ to say the least‚ not my top pick. As the movie progressed‚ I found myself really enjoying it and being in awe at the comic adaptations and graphics in every scene

Similar to Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet‚ Michael Bogdanov’s Macbeth is a modern adaptation to appeal to younger audiences. Inspiration for Bogdanov is clearly present in Madmax as well‚ as the concept of a dystopian future seems to be directly stripped from the film. The overall movie is a good adaptation of Macbeth‚ focusing on the action and visual aesthetic

Quiet on the Western Front‚ even though both novel and movie portray the main idea‚ the movie version lacks effective emotions and descriptive details as the novel abounds in them.

Both the novel and movie successfully bring out the theme of the terrible brutality
