| | Peretti Fan 07/31/2007 | | I really liked this movie because it taught so many great lessons, and at the same time, it kept the interest of myself and the children. Every time we do a slumber party, the kids pull out Hangman's Curse on DVD. This movie was so entertaining, and we learn more each time we watch it. I was very well made. We love this movie and we would love to see more from him. |
| | flower 03/24/2007 | | this was a great book and movie, a must see. I wish they would do more movies out of his books. Frank is very talented and uses his god given gifts to reach all people. It doesnt matter if he is slower writing than most authers. It is the quality not the quantity that really counts. |
