You sort of wish the film would go on, or there was going to be a sequel.
I enjoyed it for the most. It held your interest, but it definitely needed more to the ending.

Yes. Unfinished.
I quite liked the film but just like the book, there`s no definite ending.
Unfinished? Wot dew ewe meen?

I enjoyed it, and I thought the ending was great.
well i started his thread and sorry to say but we went out to the pub!
sorry i haven't replied before but just came in and read this thread and there is a lot of different opinions .... so i need to see it myself really.
my 19yr old daughter watched it and said it was scary!!! she never read the book and now wont because she thinks it would be depressing!! Not what i was thinking, i never thought it would be scary or depressing (apart from the being murdered bit)
i think i will re read the book and then buy the film.
I thought the book was excellent. Watched the movie for the first time last night and didn't think much of it. It didn't do the book any justice at all, it left loads of important stuff out. I thought they covered the ending in the movie much better than they did in the book having said that. It really showed him dying a slow and painful death, which may not be our type of justice, but it was nice to see all the same
They left loads of lovely touches out, like the actual passage of time, what the 'in between' was really like...the part where she met other people who had died during her time there, including the family dog. Didn't the mother have an affair with the policeman? They didn't go near that either. Also, I thought they found the bracelet? I knew he threw the main part away, but I thought someone found the part he kept?
I liked it, because his nibbs was quiet the whole way through the film
but they did leave whole chunks of the book out.
Oh Mark whatsit can't act.
Unfinished? Wot dew ewe meen?
Dunno Renton. I`d had a sherry trifle.

Yes that was quite an exciting part, when her sister found the book, but i was expecting a bit more reaction to the book, but that didn't happen.
Also it was left open about the Parents reaction to who it was, after the Father had gone to all the trouble of realizing it was him as well, but helpless to proof it. Well i was left wanting more in these area's.
Yes they found the book - but it passed off almost as an after thought - no big reveal, no sudden chasing him out of town, he hardly had trouble escaping either
The dead girl didn't lead them to the book - so i struggle to see her role

That's where the book is much better. There's a huge reaction in it when they figure out who the killer is and there's a whole 'I can't believe he's been on our street this whole time' kind of thing. Also there were a few more things in the basement
Her role in the movie was a bit played down, in the book she's able to connect with them more. As far as I remember she had a kind of 'mentor' in the in between world who showed her how to connect with people and she guided the sister towards the killer's house. She was also able to connect with the friend who saw her soul run by. I dunno why they left all that out.
The film was good-ish but long winded and the end disappointing and flat, but the book was kind of boring IMO. Probably made the mistake of seeing the film first.
