Another average Stephen King adaptation

Rating: 4/10 (28 March 2008)

I have just watched this film, and although I was not surprised by its averagely poor standard, as it seems that very few directors of this decade can actually produce a decent 'Sci-Fi/Horror'.
The film was not unwatchable, but lacked so much; there was no real build up of tension or fear in sections where this could have easily been explored and developed, the special effects were, by todays standards, relatively average, and on the whole, the film was predictable.
That is however, up until the ending, which is perhaps the films saving feature. Although along with the rest of the film, it could have been done a lot better, the ending was very clever.
All in all, if you have 2 hours to kill, watch this movie, but otherwise, do not go out of your way, you will be disappointed.
