They went soft on the DV ...too arty, and did not succeed in evoking the tension and stress like the book did. I read that book with my breath held in those scenes... the movie failed here.
Axel's character development was dissapointing... his backstory and abuse not revealed.
I understand leaving out the Ellen journals... she not too popular these days ... :)
The two leads were not matched well... though the sister I enjoyed!.
Run time was also too long! I wanted more intensity, fear and confrontation, and for it to begin much sooner.
This was not the Lily I imagined, but Lively played the ditzy, rom-com , sex kitten lead well.
