Book is good - film not bad

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2008)

If you read the book from Stephen King, you will be a bit surprised by the film. As in most cases, the movie sacrifices some elements of the written original and the ending is extended too. The book does not give any concrete ending for the story, only that they just keep on driving on and on. But: the films alternative ending compared to the original story shows such a drama! OK, we have seen scenes more dramatical, of course, but anyway! I always am sad, when I see, that there is another TV-version of a King story, because in most cases they are bad. Movies can also not always do their best, to reveal the depths of Kings mind, but in some cases they succeed. Do not pay attention to the sometimes bad CGI and you will find the highlights of the movie and the "King-thrill" materialized as a mist crawling among the seats of the theater, then up your legs and higher...
