Very Well Done!!!

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2008)

Four reasons of why this is a very good thriller:
Number one.- If you know Stephen King's works, you probably know that the man is crazy, so if you listen is name in a movie title, instantly, you can start to expect the worst for the characters, a lot of suspense and an entire-non-sleep-night, so, I wasn't surprised or disappointed. Number two.- I'm already sick of watching the modern thrillers, with stupid characters, stupid lines and stupid scenes... Here you gonna note that every character has is own reason to ruin the day (not the typical "I'm going to walk into the darkness because I'm brave and stupid and nothing's gonna cut my head off" without a concrete explanation), here you gonna note true Screenplay. Number three.- It is a very scary, exiting and original story, that let you thinking for a while before you say "WOW!!!". I don't remember a King's novel that make me reflect as much as I did with this one, actually, I don't remember if anyone did. Number four.- Beside of being scary, bloody, weird, etc. I love the King's stile and I like the performances from this movie, specially Thomas Jane.
My point is: Stephen King doesn't waste is time. If he want to scare you, he does; If he wan't someone thinking about the human cowardice, with-no-regrets, he does;If he want you awake all night long, he does. But he didn't do it with poorly written novels or stupid ideas, he didn't wrote horror just to sell books, he did it because he knows how to scare or call your attention and he take the time to search the for the right words to make you feel. He is the truly Master Of Horror!!! He don't play with you!!!
