Criminally underrated

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2017)

This film is a straight up masterpiece. I think brainless criticism for this film comes from the fact this is horror film and as well as a King novel adaptation. People always scoff at King because he has his fingerprints all over cinema. There is a reason why King is tapped as much as he is, and this film is a small example why. The story is simple enough but layered and slowly explodes into a tour de force. The film is creepy, upsetting and truly scary without the need of jump-scares. But everyone always talks about the ending of the film, and for good reason too. However, the ending of the film would be worthless if it wasn't for the masterful pacing and storytelling. Yeah, this is shamelessly underrated.
