I think mine’s Z for Zachariah. The book is insane. A psychological survivalist thriller between a 14 year old girl and a strange man with unknown intent. The movie is… not this. They changed everything meaningful about the characters and lost all the tension. Hope someone does it properly one day. What’s your adaptation peeve?
I knew the reviews weren’t good but I was like “How bad can it be?”. The answer was so much worse than I could have ever imagined.
As someone with a complete collection of the books, and having read and loved them pretty much since they first came out and my sister lent me the first one, every time I think of this movie I cant help but get angry. Much angrier than I got when the last book came out and it turned out to be from a new publisher and doesn’t fit the rest of the set that had those cool glittery covers.
