This film was amazing to watch, it had me tense from the word go. The acting was sublime and so too was the writing and direction. There are so many horror films these days that fail to appeal because of the heavy-load of blood and gore, but this was scary and tension filled without having to shed much. For someone who has read Stephen King's novels for a long time and who has been disappointed in the past, when his work has been blemished on screen, I would say that this is by far the best one on screen. Its everything you would want to watch. And its scary too! There were many occasions during this film that I was reaching for something to shield my eyes. This is definitely worth a watch, and especially for chiller and Stephen King fans alike.
