Another similarity is the tide change for the attacks. I found the movie more gruesome, because I was able to see the attacks visually. Also because there was more death in
The movie than in the book. In the book, It was just one family that was the focus and everything surrounded around them, but in the movie it focused on the whole town and some on the family and Miss Daniels. The most disturbing part of the book, was when
Nat found Mrs. and Mr. Trigg dead in their home. In the movie, it was when Mrs. Lydia
Brenner found Dan with his eye gouged out of this skull. The common theme of both are
Society vs. Nature, because it is the world and/or city
