I was sure i'd like this film i love Cusack, i love Kings books and i love horror!
Trouble was that this is more of a fantasy film than a horror.
Dont get me wrong it started very well and some of the earlier scenes in the hotel room were very unsettling. Cusack was amazing as always but when the horror turned more to fantasy it was hard to take the film seriously.
It turned from a really creepy horror to a 'Tales of the Unexpected' episode. This is probably not a bad thing for some people but i paid my cash for a horror so was very disapointed.
In the end not scary not original, not Kings best, not Cusack's best and a bit too long. Wait for TV -
