The best Stephen King movie

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 1999)

Stephen King's stories usually do not translate well to movies (Carrie, The Running Man), but occasionally, a King story is done right (Shining, Stand By Me). This movie is probably the best of the group. It's a brilliant story matched with a brilliant screenplay. The cast was great from the professionals (Robbins, Freeman) to the relatively unknown actors. This movie is about a man's will to survive even when his future looks the darkest. One of my all time favorite movies.
