    Editorial Reviews

    Harry Hook directed this second screen adaptation of William Golding's cult novel about a group of British schoolchildren who revert to savagery when marooned on a deserted island. The new adaptation replaces British school children with a group of American military cadets and instead of a shipwreck, their plane crashes into the sea. The children swim ashore onto an island and try to fend for themselves, with the only surviving adult wracked with fever and crazed with pain. As the children get the feel of the island, the group separates into two different camps: Ralph (Balthazar Getty) and his followers prefer to act civilized and want to expand their efforts toward finding a way off the island; on the other hand, Jack (Chris Furrh) and his band revert to painting their faces, carrying spears and exploiting the island for survival. When the chances for rescue become less and less likely, the two factions go to war with each other, with tragic results. Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

    Um...it's Lord of the Flies...by Clarice_B_Spiderwick_28

    February 08, 2009: Wow. Never thought I'd like this kind of thing! I had to read this for English class, and I was not anticipating it (we had to read "A Separate Peace earlier, and I hated it...and when I found out we had to read this and that the central message was the same, I was all, "Oh, great, more angsty boys killing each other"). However, after spending about two weeks on the book and viewing the movie...I came to actually really enjoy it. The movie, I will agree with a ton of other people, does screw up a bunch of stuff (and I've heard that the 1963 movie sticks to the book much better than this one). However, I tend to be open-minded when it comes to page-to-screen adaptions, and I thought that this was a great movie! Now all I need to do is find the time to go out and get this...

    June 04, 2006: When i watched the film i saw many things that were wrong with it. First off the timeline was severely distorted. All of the boys were supposed to have long hair due to the amount of time on the island. It appeared as if they were there for 5 days. Hardly the amount of time for a group of people to completely insane. Also the character of Jack did not fit the description in the book so I had trouble identifying characters. This book would have been better done as a mini series and give more attention to the things the author writes. An adaptation should remind you of the book and clear some of the images you can't get out of your head, not confuse and dissapoint you.
