Amazing - a message of hope

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2008)

Simply amazing. I too watch dozens of films a month. Every once in a while I come across a truly amazing gem. This was one of those gems.
This wasn't a film about horror. The horror veil is there merely as a medium for King's work, as other posters have iterated. It was a message, a glimpse as it were, of our own society in one of its darkest moments. The entire broad spectrum of humanity played out in this one single film. Bravo! to the director, screenwriter and all the other people involved for a brilliant adaptation of a story I must read one day.
Day to day life is nothing more than one "challenge" after the other. How we deal with these challenges, is what define us as human beings. What keeps us going, from challenge to challenge, is hope. Steven King's message to us was a simple one - never lose it.
