...trilogy—and is about as historically accurate. Understandably, any film following the “Lord of the Rings” might look to it for inspiration, due to its immense commercial success. But I never expected to run into Gollum again. Or the cave troll. Or any Orcs. However, I was greeted by all (or shameless approximations of) these creatures.

The back window was half-open, and the boy with eyes like cracked ice thrust in his fluttering and clutching hand, like a child reaching into a cave, aggressively curious but half-afraid the hand might be bitten by something in the dark. Roll it up: the hand withdrew before being caught by the glass. All the faces pressed up against the windows now (a nightmare through a fish-eye lens), and the fists beat harder on hood...
