About this deal

D'Alessandro, Anthony (September 18, 2019). "Jeffrey Dean Morgan Takes Lead In Screen Gems' Feature Adaptation Of James Herbert's 'Shrine' ". Deadline Hollywood . Retrieved September 19, 2019. Williamson, J.N., ed. (1987). Masques II: All-New Stories of Horror and the Supernatural. Baltimore: Maclay & Assoc. ISBN 978-0-940776-24-1. I considered being pissed about the ending but upon further contemplating on the matter I decided it made sense in context. The reason I say this is that even though these characters go through some very intense events they're not technically the main players in the cosmic battle. They're observers and on occasion the recipients of some of the violence but this is a tale of corruption vs the sanctity of creation. Human beings have no dog in the fight because they don't stand a chance against an entity that doesn't play by physical rules. People don't have a prayer to win so there's that.

I had James Herbert on my list for a while now. I wanted to read The Fog and Rats but I stumbled upon this hidden gem and realized that the 2021 movie , The Unholy, was based off this. This was my first Herbert novel and while I didn't think it was amazing, I was definitely intrigued by the plot and overall thought it was 3.5 to 4 stars. Do we care? The final hysteria is a small price to pay - it is a meeting of the expectations of the fans of the genre - because we have more genuinely horrific set-pieces on the way, including a very nasty industrial disaster and a ghost incursion that is M R James with added terror.

He was the subject of a This is Your Life programme in 1995, when he was surprised by Michael Aspel at the London Dungeon. [ citation needed] Reception [ edit ] Some very cool horrific scenes regarding the car /tanker accident, the church basement and hooded nuns, a weird scene with Alice and a cat, some character deaths including more than 1 type of father and a seemingly rushed ending that involved a psychotic anti religious gunman, lightning, earth shattering quakes and underground zombies lol. Spark, Alasdair (1993). "Horrible Writing: the Early Fiction of James Herbert". In Bloom, Clive (ed.). Creepers: British Horror & Fantasy in the Twentieth Century. London: Pluto Press. pp.147–160. ISBN 9780745306650. N'Duka, Amanda (February 27, 2020). " 'Shrine': Screen Gems Horror Pic Adds Cary Elwes, Katie Aselton & More". Deadline Hollywood . Retrieved February 29, 2020.

Jones, Stephen, ed. (1992). James Herbert: By Horror Haunted. London: Hodder & Stoughton. ISBN 978-0-450-53810-0. The basic plot of James Herbert's "Shrine" is far from ground-breakingly original. However, that isn’t necessarily a negative aspect. Some of the most spectacular and haunting novels have come from reworking, redesigning and reinventing classic ideas. In this sense, we’re ultimately talking about a plot pretty much involving demonic possession and a mass misguided belief and far little else. However, what Herbert does, is really ramp-up the tension that lurks behind the saintly façade of the protagonist, making the whole crux of the somewhat simplistic tale, far more focused on the escalating tension that will surely be vented in a dramatically explosive revelation. a b Schudel, Matt (22 March 2013).

There are also a few sex scenes in it that actually worked quite well, though I’m not sure how necessary they were to the plot. It felt as though he was just including them for the sake of including them, knowing that a certain percentage of his readers are into that sort of thing, but at least he didn’t use awkward phrasing like “most wetness” or “engorged shaft”. He is survived by his wife, Eileen, whom he married in 1967, and their daughters, Kerry, Emma and Casey. D'Alessandro, Anthony (March 14, 2020). "Sony Halts Production On Kevin Hart's 'Man From Toronto', 'Shrine' & 'The Nightingale' ". Deadline Hollywood . Retrieved May 15, 2020.
