I watched this after I read the novel, which I thought was awesome.
The actors I thought were pretty good, especially Ron Pearlman who played the psychopathic cop, Collie Entragian. The special effects and the cinematography were pretty good as well.
They kept the film very close to the awesome novel. Until it got to the middle because they cut out some of the most important scenes from the book that they didn't put in the film, for example, in the book they meet another character, hiding in the ruins of the town. They also find much more of the history of the town. They cut out all this in the film, which was disappointing.
The ending, I thought I was very disappointed because they fitted bits that were very cheesy, that didn't fit the novel at all.
I would rather read the novel first before watching the film. But still I thought it was pretty good.
