. If you like monster movies at all - who remembers watching the original 50's and 60's versions of Them, The Thing, I was a Teenage Werewolf? - you'll enjoy this movie too. While the production values are much higher, the 2014 movie is a throwback to those movies. The movie didn't win any awardsbut the cast, including Ken Wantanabe, Elizabeth Olson, and David Strathairnn, is excellent.If you like a movie or TV show, you'll probably like the novel that goes along with it. For the "classics" the original books are undoubtedly better but don't discount this movie novelization or others. Everyone deserves a little bit of relaxing, easy reading from time to time. When reading a book based upon a movie, TV show or game I enjoy picturing the characters as I have seen them on the screen. With vocabulary like Brobdingnagian and effulgence the author doesn't write down to his audience. On a side note, the author, Greg Cox, lives relatively near by in Oxford, PA.
