A book by James Herbert, [[The Film of the Book|it was adapted into a film in 1995]] staring Aidan Quinn and Kate Beckinsale. Major plot points where changed between the novel and the film; reading the book doesn't spoil the film, vis versa. The key element is the same but the backstory is incredibly different. |
