Not great.. unfortunately

Rating: 5/10 (27 November 2007)

I must say I wasn't too impressed with this. I read the short story years ago and I loved the story. Definitely one of my favorite stories by Stephen King. And the director has been really the only director who has done a good job of adapting his stories into movies. So It was with great displeasure to see such a bad movie. CGI was terrible, I was not very scared or held in suspense. Overall I feel like this is another run of the mill crappy suspense horror-wannabe. Not trying to turn people off from seeing this but with such a great original story, it could have been done so much better. I read the story and thought "They HAVE to make a movie about this one day." And I was really excited.. maybe my hopes were too high?
