    Another King Flop

    Ok picture '120 Days of Sodom' read with mother edition and you get the idea why this film failed.

    Desperation is one of my fav Stephen King books so there's nothing wrong with the plot of this tv film. The major bad point of this film is the fact that the violence and gore from the book could never make it to tv! So why on earth would you try. There is nothing original about the film, to be honest there is prob nothing that original about the book. However the aformentioned gore and violence set the book apart from other horror fare!

    I walked away from this film angry that my love for the book had been tainted, dont do the same!
