Sad (when compared to King's short story)

Rating: 1/10 (24 June 2007)

This is nowhere close to the story, not even in the vicinity of king-material. The story has been tweaked a little to fit into a movie. But that as not worked well. Samuel L Jackson as Olin was sad. His role was short, bot not as effective as the manager in the book. John Cusack was okay.
I went to the cinema expecting a decent chiller and I got NOTHING. While the book got me sincerely PRAYING the night I read it, this movie wasn't close to it by a light-year!! I did wage a war within my mind (to my best) to get scared, all in vain.
As a person who read the story, I think the movie is not even worth two pence.
