Pitiful Stephen King mess

Rating: 1/10 (14 November 2009)

I like being scared and this movie starts off with some good scares,nifty gore and a genuine feeling of fear and high tension. Up to a certain point I was thinking man this is good scary fun and then it degenerates into so much crap starting with the religious psychopath,the endless whiny drivel of certain characters who could not act if their life depended on it.,case in point who the hell cast Thomas Jane?. The movie is rushed to a quick conclusion which is different from the books ending and will leave you really angry. I don't get Stephen Kings comment that the movies ending is the one he wished he had written. If you didn't like the ending Mr King then why write the damn ending you did. IMO, most of Stephen kings adaptations are boring mind numbing crap anyway which tells you about the source material but what really pmo off is that when one of them is actually good, they ruin it with bad acting,badly written dialog and deviate from the source material including changing the ending. Thomas Jane should be banned from acting forever- watch the last few minutes of the movie and you'll see what I mean.
