Overrated

Rating: 5/10 (22 February 2008)

This movie shouldn't be being called a "Stephen King" movie. But unfortunately, it is. This is one of those "modern horror flops" I'm afraid to say. Although its probably the best of the "flops". No one will agree with me however in calling it a flop, considering it did well in the box office and has a 7.0 rating (as of 2/22/08). But it really is unfortunately, considering how great older horror was. This movie just failed to scare me at all. I'll admit, the acting was the best part of the movie, and the storyline was great. It was just WAY too over-the-top once the action started. It seemed to stop making sense and just kept trying to be scary/shocking, causing it to fail in both. Sorry King, but you need to stick to movies like The Shining, Pet Sematary, Night Flier, and Children of the Corn. 5/10, better luck next time.
