Hometown horrors

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2019)

This film is like a dream (or nightmare). This is true of the few Stephen King books that I've read. It is fair to say that you can't divert far from your source material. Why would you want to?
It is an ensemble piece, for sure. Everyone brought their A-game.
The visual horror was rendered to perfection. There is plenty of it. Quite an achievement and well worth the ticket price. Be warned that it ain't subtle.
There is an unrelenting atmosphere of ... something quite unpleasant.
It may prove more frightening for those of us who grew up in towns than it will city slickers.
In this age of cinema vs home theatre I'm glad I saw this on the truly big screen.
Horror movies still have their place.
