Dynamic performances

I am a huge fan of the film that inspired this audiobook and this is a fun and fresh take on the story. It differs enough from the original to keep those familiar still interested, and Brian Blessed is great as Lord Summerisle. I highly recommend this to any fan of the film.

A fascinating adaptation

I've listened to this twice now and I love it more each time I do! The music and effects are stellar, the performances are compelling, and the adaptation is theologically complex in a way that has me coming back to this again and again.

Chilling Tale, Excellent Cast and Production

I have heard of the film, but never seen it. I was looking for an audiobook to accompany the book, but there was none, so I chose this. It is an excellent adaptation with a full cast and great production. A constable looks for a missing girl on a remote island and finds more than he expected. I wish it was longer, it was really enjoyable. Reminded me of the audio drama for Blood on Satan's Claw, another great production.
