These are the kinds of films that make me wish I could write screenplays.
I grew up hearing stories like this first film ” The Medium ” and with that I learned about, pacing, the importance of bringing images- sometimes a piece at a time- like a jigsaw into your tale, and the fact that the supernatural world exists in everything around us and that the line dividing the world of the living from the world of the dead isn’t really a line at all.
It’s more like a suggestion.
I did like both movie versions of the ” The Ring “, but l loved the book more then both of the films. The book went into more detail ( of course ) But the scripts were so well done that leaving those parts out didn’t hurt the story.
The screenplays for both films were excellent.
Not a horror film- but the screenplay- woof- fabulous writing:
Big Fish is one of my all time favorite movies.
