Labina
(EXCUSE THE ALL CAPS-KEYBOARD IS BROKEN) I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FILM AFTER READING IT IN HIGH SCHOOL. SUCH A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN STORY OF HORROR. THIS ADAPTATION FELT LIKE A SILENT FILM FILM FROM THE 30'S WITH NO EXPLANATION OF WHAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE THERE IS NO DIALOGUE. MAKING THIS LONG AWAITED FILM COME OFF AS PRENTIOUS. SAD BUT TRUE.
