A Stephen King Sleeper

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 1998)

I regret that I missed seeing this one on the big screen. Unfortunately, I avoided it because Stephen King wrote it, and I had stereo-typed it as a horror flick. I only decided to see it on VHS (without reading a review) after seeing its incredibly high ranking in the IMDB Top 250.
In fact, this is an amazing story of inner strength and human spirit, more from the side of King that gave us "Stand By Me" than the side responsible for "Cujo".
Very deserving of the Best Picture nomination.
