So scary, in a cheesy way. The new movie doesn't do the story justice as it camped up the creepiness to make it hokey and silly. The book is suspenseful, and really shows how the phrase "Stepford Wife" is applicable to "that" type of suburban housewife who is "perfectly perky". A great ending with a twist!
