er, not ver good

Rating: 3/10 (29 March 2008)

One of my most favorite King stories, not done much justice. This a surprise with Darabont as director. In a nutshell, not scary, poorly acted, an a big stray from King's short story. The best acting was done by character Drayton's son. Although I wish opposite, Jane's acting was pretty bad in this flick (forced), along with most others. There just seemed not a enthusiastic effort by all involved. I mean the initial storm, in King's story, and a fairly decent audio play circa 1985, was HUGE, and certainly set the tone of the story. In the movie, the play was a probably a couple of minutes at most. Very lackluster, an embarrassing effort in my opinion.
