Now that I've watched it, I can't stop thinking about it and I'd love to read the books, if only my friend didn't tell me that it would be a lot more gory than the movie. I have a vivid imagination and even if the book (as the reviews say) is written for a fourth grader read, I am pretty sure we would have a very terrifying few nights of my active imagination running wild with me within the HEA household.
So, the verdict hangs. I am still undecided on whether I should pick up the three books or not.
The above is a fan-made movie of a scene from the book which I think has been done better than the movie. Perhaps another hint at how the books are better than the film?
