As melodramatic as it can be, this movie is very entertaining and a much better reading of the story than previous film adaptations. This is one of my favourite monster stories, and DeNiro makes a good Monster. I loved the lush visuals. Certain death scenes truly shocked me. If you're looking for celluloid perfection, you aren't likely to find it here, but it's a good movie to consider for upcoming Halloween festivities (or any other time you want a good scary movie with a plot).
