The Yellow Wallpaper (2011)
Very loosely based on the short story of the same name (1892) written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The original source material is an important part of early feminist literature, portraying society's attitudes toward women in the late 19th century & the story unfolds a harrowing tale of madness resulting a pretty sad but creepy finale. Though this new adaptation almost excludes all those feminist parts but injects nicely some Lovecraftian materials towards the end. Overall, as a low budget indie horror it's pretty good at times...particularly creating a creepy-Gothic atmosphere & setting where the background music mostly did the work. A decent film, worth a watch.

Chronicle (2012)
The story was fine but it'd better if they used the handheld camera approach only at the beginning in 1 or 2 scene. It's getting bit annoying these days to watch an entire film this way.

Masterpiece Theater:The Yellow Wallpaper (1989)
After watching the new adaptation, came to know about this BBC produced treatment in Wikipedia and luckily got it in 5 parts in youtube. Typical brilliant Britt feature of 80s with a great cast, atmosphere & a spooky but sad ending. Loved it.
