This is a made-for-TV adaptation – with many alterations – of a book I’ve never read but is alleged to be the crème de la crème of its genre.
It’s not bad at all. It has a chilling atmosphere and the premise more than believable. It works as a wee TV movie than a big-budget bonanza (alliteration overload) that would undoubtedly flop.
It’s on YouTube for free and kills 90 minutes and may initiate 20 mins on Wikipedia.
And Rutger Hauer, a lad from the Netherlands, goes remorseful SS and convincingly so.
That’s impressive acting.
Wanderings and ... wonderings.
