I thought movies were supposed to be somewhat scary?

Rating: 3/10 (23 December 2007)

I never read the book by Stephen King and so I have no idea how much of the movie depicts the book but never the less, this film was a bore. It is plagued by the same pg 13 elements that the horror movie industry is currently stuck in (lots of screaming, quick flashes, visions of a dead daughter, etc) so it is easily forgettable. The movie is nothing but John Cusack throwing objects around the room, crawling around the floor, and then repeating itself.
Like I said, I have never read the book so I don't know if the same events take place in the book but if that is the case, i'll be sure to stay away from reading it.
