It =could= translate well into a film. But the one we got ain't the one.

But Dave, that was my personal opinion. So check it by your own eyes. Then you'll find why I didn't recommend it. :p
At least, you can see FPW's cameo.
Wow, so I guess I'm the only one who enjoyed the movie. I actually saw it before I was the big FPW fan that I am now. I had read Reborn and enjoyed it but never really took note of the author - I generally just grab random horror from used book stores and Reborn was one of them.
I rented Midnight Mass one night and I did enjoy it. Let's be honest here, I wasn't expecting Citizen ****ing Kane or something like that, but for an obviously low budget horror flick I found it entertaining enough to remember it and later, to buy it for my collection.
Still I was clueless about FPW until I saw the Midnight Mass paperback on a rack in a supermarket. I read the back and it sounded like the book that the movie was based on (I was on a books-made-into-movies spree that year), I bought it, read it, and absolutely loved it.
It wasn't until months later that I was going through my stacks and made the connection that Reborn had also been written by him.
I always wondered exactly how much involvement FPW had in the movie and I just discovered that he made a cameo in it, I had no idea about that before a few minutes ago. Now I'll have to re-watch it again.

I like it enough to be in my video library!
