edge of your seat excitement start to finish!

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 1999)

From beginning to end this movie builds suspense and tension in the style of the '50s horror movies with the graphics and realism of the late '70s/early '80s. True classic of the genre! Though the plot is somewhat different and truncated (no pun intended) from the Stephen King original, Jack Nicholson makes this movie fascinating entertainment you won't be able to take your eyes from! Watch this one versus the boring, overlong TV version and see which one makes YOU jump from your seat! i remember watching this movie when it first showed on pay tv and I had nightmares about the part where Scatman Crothers meets the insane Nicholson with axe and the scenes with Jack nicholson chasing his son through the snow maze! Don't miss this movie!!
