So dull I was falling asleep.

Rating: 1/10 (24 September 2017)

1 star. Awful. Why? They stripped it of all it's mystery and instead made a bombastic movie that is NOT interesting, not engrossing, not scary. It is DULL! I was falling asleep during the dialog. The characters aren't interesting and the actors aren't interesting. The only pleasant thing about the entire film is the scenery.
This is a screeching, loud, overdone film that lacks any fascination.
The first film with Tim Curry draws you in and doesn't let go until the spider comes out of the cave. Then, it loses it's audience. This film loses it's audience in the first 10 minutes and they are gone, not to be drawn back in. People were looking at their watches.
Just go get the original on DVD or re-read the book. This is BAD.
