  "After not thinking too highly of this movie the first time around—probably because I was confused by its spooky point of view—I watched it again after reading Dick's novel, and I was delighted at how closely it captures the spirit of the book.

  "This was okay. The filming is unique, but honestly unless you've read the book I wouldn't watch it. Its definitely one of those cult like films where you have to already be in love with it to understand."
