The only character that properly matches the description in the book is Piggy. Ralph’s, Jack’s, and Sam and Eric’s characters didn’t fit the description at all. The movie was also missing “the mulberry birthmark boy”, which holds great significance in the novel. The movie contains a lot of unnecessary attributes, which is why I perceived the movie very negatively. It contained a lot of insults and cursing which didn't add anything but unnecessary profanity. There was a tremendous amount of things in the movie that were unrelated, irrelevant, and completely different than what is a movie. The movie also fails to portray the realism and realisticness of two characters

It didn't have the same appeal to it when you watch a movie. The suspense and emotion just didn't project from page to the screen. The people who worked on the film, they got a lot of things right.

The movie was also popular and received high praise. John Hurt, Anthony Hopkins, Wendy Hiller, and Anne Bancraft all stared in the movie and did an excellent job. Although the movie was as popular as the play, it was extemely different. One of the major problems with the movie is the makeup of John Merrick, the main character. Because it is a movie they can not rely on the theatricalness of the play. Merrick's character is forced to where a horrible costume which makes him almost to difficult to look at. This makes it very different from the play because in the play it is extremely important that the actor does nothing to make himself look the way the real John Merrick looked.

Mr. White immediately gets up to answer the door and is happy to see his longtime friend Sergeant-major Morris.

Both the movie and the book both had a storm the night that the son and dad were playing chess. They both had similar ways on telling how Sergeant Major Morris got the monkey’s paw and how the first person killed himself because of the monkey’s paw.

Starting with Willow just was not good his acting was terrible. He had nothing good to bring I know this was the 80’s, but can we get someone that can act. Every character was too cliché. Madmartigan he was just borderline bad! He thinks he is so handsome but he couldn't do a simple fight in the snow with his shirt button.
