Psycho
 
The movie just had too many problems, but there were good parts (like the shark attack and did anyone else think that the video game part was pretty funny?).

I didn't think the book was amazing or anything. The utopia turned to nightmare theme has been done much better and Garland didn't add much too it.

However I enjoyed the gen X/"video game" generation sensibilities he writes with. It's something I can relate to and, in my opinion, there aren't many writes who write with those sensibilites as well as he does. I think that's probably why I liked 28 Days Later despite the cliches thrown in from the zombie movie genre.
