10 Major Differences Between the Whalefall Movie and Novel

There is always a temptation to bring a bestselling novel to life, and I can totally understand why one would want to adapt Whalefall into a cinematic experience. The story can be overwhelming for some, like the actor Josh Brolin, who said, “I was so invested in the book that when I finished it, I just sobbed”. The author Daniel Kraus surely knows his way around human emotions, but more importantly, it is one hell of a survival horror story. Also, I think it is only fitting that Kraus was in charge of turning his novel into a feature film, and the result is for all to see. Whalefall tells the unique story of an individual caught up in a troubled relationship with his father who is now gone, and the guy then gets swallowed by a sperm whale, only to survive inside its stomach. However, there are a few changes that were made to the narrative for the purpose of the film, and in this video, I will bring you all the major differences.
