    Director Tom Holland's totally banal and pedestrian horror movie is the “thinner” end of the wedge as far as awful adaptations of King's books go. Robert John Burke is the grossly overweight lawyer cursed by the King of the Gypsies to fade away to nothing after killing a Romany in a hit-and-run car accident. Nothing convinces in this latex-heavy bust where the nightmare twists cause more yawns than terror. “The Night of the Living Strawberry Pie” conclusion has to be seen to be believed! Joe Mantegna adds acting weight to the scrawny scares, but he's too little, far too late.

    An interesting look at air travel....

    but not recommended if you are scared stiff of flying, believe me. I watched this when it was a 2-parter on TV year's ago, and it had me hooked from start to finish, a very strange storyline but a very interesting one at that. Okay not 100% based on an aeroplane, only 5% but mainly based in a deserted airport. So if you love Stephen king you'll love this unusual movie.

    Entertaining

    A good watch, I first saw this years ago on Sky 1. Can be (if I recall) a bit long-winded at times. Dean Stockwell (Al from 'Quantum Leap') does well here. Definately worth a look.
