  Occasional gripes, but otherwise very good
  
  I'm not a big fan of Stephen King, and the familiar opening of the small town ordinary folks seems to be his trademark. I found said opening as tedious as ... read more »

  Love it or hate it?
  
  I can see why there are such opposing views about this film. It starts off OK, then gets into its messy monster-movie phase, but then tries a bit of character-... read more »

  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.
