Author Shirley Acksexon was a unique coach in American fiction, making horror stories that weave supernatural elements with stories of sadness, trauma and mental illness. Throughout her life, she published six novels and more than 200 stories, along with two memoirs, but surprisingly there were only five movie and television adaptations of her work. Many others are inspired by Acksecson, of course, but only four films and one TV series are actually looking to adapt her work in some way to varying degrees of success. (There is also "Shirley" of Josephosefin Decker, a fictional version of the author's life, where it is played in a phenomenal turn from Elizabeth Moss.)

There is something to appreciate in each of these works because the source material is so rich, but some adaptations of Shirley Acksexon are far better than others. So let's take a look at the worst to the best, starting from the earliest adaptation: the 1957 movie "Hugo Noir" "Lizzie".

The earliest of Acksecson's adaptations is also the weakest, just because it's a smaller story about Acksecson and retained by the limitations of the era. Based on Acksecson's third novel, the "Bird Nest", Hass's film follows a young woman named Elizabeth (Eleonor Parker) who has three separate, different figures: shy Elizabeth, unstable Lizzie and Beth, the well -adjusted mix.

Although it came out of the same year as "Three Eve", who won the Academy Award and also presented a woman with more personalities and three identities, "Lizzie" mostly became the footnote in the history of the film. Acksexon herself had a mixed reaction to the film, reading the script at one point and found it reducing it, comparing it to "Film Abbott and Costello ”And then he later saw the movie and Telling told a friend that he "thought she was very good" and "much improved" during the first scenario she read. It would be interesting to see that the female will take over "D -Ekkill and M -Hyde" with a psychological twist adapted to modern audiences, and while Lizzie has its great moments, the "bird's nest" deserves another shot on the screen.

Opinions about the 1999 film "Jan de Bon" "The The The Ganuting" are wildly divided, even among critics here on /film. While some viewers think it's One of the worst remake of horror of all time (That's a remake of the 1963 film with the same name, both based on the 1959 Acksecson novel "The Hill House House"), others found a lot to love in this camp, but an absolutely beautiful movie. Seriously, "The Ganuting" is a visual pleasure With some absolutely phenomenal production design and truly unique pieces. Even if the over-the-view performances in the 90s of the stars Lily Taylor, Owen Wilson, Catherine Zeta-Onesons and Liam Neeson are not really your job, the visual sides of the "persecuting" are really something to see. The film's home is a widespread manor with some really amazing rooms, including a kind of carousel room with mirror walls and torque, a flow corridor that is flowing only by stepping on one stone in the form of a book to another, and a giant fireplace that hides a secret door.

Although the "haunting" is a lot of fun to look and can be very pleasant if you are in a specific camp taste until the end of the 90s, it is also the lowest of the "Hill House persecution" adaptations.

Director Stacy Passon's 2018 adaptation to Acksexon's latest novel, the 1962 Gothic Mystery "We Always Lived in the Castle", is one of the most direct accurate performances of the novel that he has ever placed on the screen. The script follows the novel almost winning for Bit, following the sisters Mary Catherine "Mikatat" (Taisa Farmiga) and Constance Blackwood (Alexandra Dadario), who could not be different, but are tied to a terrible secret that haunted her family. They are also fired from society and when their alienated, charming cousin Charles (Sebastian Stan) appears, threatens to divide the sisters and drive what is left of the family. The performances range from decent to great and the design of the production is phenomenal. "We've always lived in the castle" is wonderful. Unfortunately, it is also quite separated and cold because it is trying to imitate the narrative perspective of Mikatat, which does not work.

Like many movies based on novels with a protagonist as a narrator, "We have always lived in the castle. (Honestly, that's the biggest question with The films "Hunger Games" Also, because Katniss's "voice" is an important part of those books.) "We have always lived in the castle" is a good movie and adaptation, but it could probably have used several changes to make it better for the screen.

Acksexon's fifth novel, "The Ganounting of Hill House", is a great supernatural and psychological thriller for a group of people with paranormal experiences coming in the persecuted Hill House as guests of researcher Dr Johnon Montag, just to be mentally disclosed one by some through some through some. In the film Robert Wizz in 1963 "The Hanging", Dr Johnon Markway (Richard Nsonson) replaced Dr. Montag, but otherwise the film is quite accurate for its original material. Of course, Theo (Claire Bloom) is a bit of a sexual part and the supernatural elements are made more vague - with the idea that the prospective character, Nell (Jululey Harris), was mentally unstable and many of the things she saw were just the elements of her fragmented mind - but still still quite accurate.

"The Ganding" is great and has a good reason why the director Martin Scorsese ranked him as the worst movie of all time. It is full of great performances and was partially recorded in a hotel that actually hauntedBringing the story of Acksecson to life without giving up too far in any way. Some of the effects are dating and it's hard not to wonder what this beautiful Gothic Castle would look like, but the 1963 "The Haunting" version is a great ghost story, Great film for mental illnessand a great adaptation of the novel. There is only one thing: Mike Flanagan's series "The Ghounting of House House" is somehow even better.

The The Ganuting of House House of Flanagan is a pretty loose adaptation of its original material, taking names of characters and traits and assigning them to a very haunted family. Nell (Victoria Pedretti) is the youngest of Crane's brothers and sisters and still has some mental abilities, though for many different reasons in the series than in the novel or any other adaptation. The family Crane Hunt Hill House and haunted by it, Both literally and metaphorically, in the show that examines children's trauma, sadness and much more within the supernatural environment. The Netflix series on the larger entire Acksecson's body themes out of Hill House just to create a heart and absolutely daunting Gothic horror story of the centuries.

Sometimes adaptations can improve the original material while remaining faithful to their heart, such as "Interview with Vampire" and Hannibal TV Shows, which have changed their time frames and characters, but feel the best possible adaptations. "Hill House's stunning" is one of those rare, beautiful shows that Works better on repetition of the review Because there are so many tinted layers of storytelling. It is a shame that Flanagan has moved from Acksexone to other seasons of his "persecutive" anthology series, because he clearly understands her emotional resonance through American Gothic storytelling. It would be nice to see that she handles more than her job.
