  Supermarket Shivers!
  
  Ok. Nice twist at the end. Not as good as the book though, but it was better than watching football.

  What the hell happened?
  
  Stephen king, director from Shawshank and Green Mile, could have made a lot more of this. The film is weak, low budget, cynical and disappointing.
