This is the trailer right here:
If you want to see this movie, it's in theaters soon. I recommend it for those of you that aren't frightened very easily and love a good thrill! This piece of writing was first published in 1843, and this movie gives it a slightly modern twist. It adds more background to the story as well.
Take my advice and go see it, it'll have you shivering in your seats.
I would like to talk about some of the differences between the short story and a play version of it. First of all, the play version was slightly less real. Plays usually bring stories to life, but not this one. Throughout the play, the madman was speaking pretty much the whole time, but I could see the story version in my head better. Him speaking the whole time took away from it, as well as when he met the police officer. One of the most critical points in the story, I figured that that one would resemble the story the most. But it did not– it was even shortened a little bit. The short story, as many do, was more striking and real because nothing was rushed through, like the play. All in all, I liked the story a lot better, because I could picture it in my head a lot easier.
