One of my favorite sites is Listverse; they recently posted the Top 15 movies not on DVD...the Keep got mentioned. While nowhere near as good as the book, I did enjoy it in cheesy/fun sort of way.

I know Midnight Mass was made into a low budget (and painful) flick. What other FPW works were made into movies?

They called the movie, The Keep a top movie? I'm amazed.

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.

Masters of Horror if I remeber correctly.

Only because of its connection to someone now considered a major director.

I haven't seen it, but I'm surprised because what I've read about the movie wasn't very good.

I'm going to watch it soon though (it's on instant streaming on Netflix) especially since I read as many horrible reviews of Midnight Mass, and I actually enjoyed that movie.

It's rare that I have the same opinion of movie reviewers.

If you include television, there was also Glim Glim.

I didn't know my DVD of The Keep was "unofficial."

I have a question for everyone, My memories of the film are not so good as it was years ago that I watched it, I know it has a rep for being really bad, but I wondered--If it wasn't based on a book, was a seperate entity, would it still be seen as bad?

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?

Having just recently rewatched it I can say that the film was terrible either way. Of course, the fact thaat it butchered a beloved story didn't help its cause any, but even if it hadn't I still wouldn't have liked it.

The way I look at it is......the film brought me to The Man's books. 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.
I know I'm in the minority....but I still like the film.
