Yuk!!

Rating: 1/10 (8 March 2009)

I really hate giving bad reviews about anything, especially movies, but I just cannot believe that this movie was produced from a Stephen King novella.
If this movie has stayed faithful to Stephen King's prose then all I can say is that Mr King must have had a brainstorm when writing it.
The plot was wafer thin, the acting no more than mediocre, though some of those taking part are well established actors, even though they may not all be household names, and the direction was pathetic.
What took place in the store I feel was absolutely nonsensical and, even if people were facing a peril such as this I am darned sure they would not act and react like they did in this movie.
The film was little more than blood and gore and I get more scared when I look at myself in the mirror.
What happened in the final scenes were just unbelievable and I am convinced that anyone in this situation would never do what was done.
It is such a pity because I do like Stephen King, but this was definitely not his best offering, more like his worst.
If it were possible to give a zero rating for this movie I would have been sorely tempted to do so.
Lets hope that this movie is included on the Golden Raspberry Awards nominations list as this the only award it is likely to get.
