I know there is a DVD of 3 or 4 adaptations of short stories by FPW, but the one other that comes to mind is, Pelts. It was part of a horror series done on Showtime.

Or is the rep of the film coloured by the fact that it is based on a great book and translated badly to the screen by the director?

Ok....parts of the film are hokey....the acting was bad in spots.....and once you read the book...The Keep....you see where the film should have gone.
