Reviews

yonafarkash comparing the movie with the book is a mistake. using the book as a jumping off point for the movie is a better choice. i thought that the tone of the movie was what the book was aiming for. as a comparison, i thought the feel of i know what you did last summer was totally off in the movie as compared to what the author was aiming at in the novel. i think alexz played both characters very well, the last scene was totally perfect. personally i wish the look was more 70s which is when the book was written, it was weird to see it updated to a modern version. i read the book all through the 80s. in general i am a Lois Duncan fan and i think her novels are very original and can be used as new ideas for movies, because so many movies use the same plots with different characters.

heatherjeane06 actually, Lois Duncan was very pleased with their decision on the script. if you would of checked more into it you would of found that out. it wasn't terrible at all. i don't think they could have chosen a better cast. and the leading woman, miss Alexz Johnson did an amazing job. especially under the pressure of playing twins with completely different personality. instead of judging on the differences between the book and movie, judge on the talent they put into it. there are major differences between the book and the movie its self but honestly i found it to make the movie much more interesting. i like the connection they made with painting, and how the other twin could not match that. it gave way for the mother to find out the truth about the soul that was no longer her daughters. you guys will just have to check it out.

Philip Keenan I had gained a huge obsession with with the novel Stranger with My Face, written by Lois Duncan, after reading it 3 times.Books that get made into movies always get bad feedback, for example: Twilight, The Da Vinci Code etc. So don't be surprised if you find yourself hating this film. There have been large changes to the movie compared to the novel. Laurie is originally Indian looking, unfortunately, she is casted with Alexz Johnson who is a blonde white girl. Significant characters; Neal, Meghan and her Father had been removed from the story. The existing characters are also very different however they are somewhat likable. The casting in this is film is good based on the screenplay, yet horrible compared to the novel. As much as I liked the novel I found myself connecting well with the loosely based characters; Laurie, Helen, Gordon, Shelley and Alexis.I did enjoy the film, but I enjoyed the book better. I am a huge fan of horror films and I can adapt well with straight to DVD/TV films. If you enjoyed the book you may not enjoy the movie as huge changes have been made. Its not a great movie. But its not a horrible movie. I'd rather watch this instead of "Wrong Turn 2" or "Joy Ride 2."Give it a chance see if you like it. Its not terrible and trust me its better than most movies that weren't released in theaters.

Eminemgirl31691 I watched this movie recently and thought it was fascinating. I did not read the book, but watched this movie because I am a huge Alexz Johnson fan. I thought she did an amazing job playing twins, especially the evil one. Its amazing that someone with such an amazing voice and musical talents can also be such a wonderful actress. I thought the plot was very interesting and Alexz was convincing as the evil twin, it was a little frightening. To the people who are angry that it wasn't exactly like the book: when was a book ever made into a movie that was exactly like the book? Never, it's impossible, to make a book into a movie, things are always changed, elaborated, etc. for various reasons to make the movie better, more interesting, because of the director, and for many other reasons. The movie should be judged as a movie not as a book. :)
