Read the book instead.

Rating: 6/10 (7 April 2001)

I saw the film about a year ago and thought that it was boring, plot-less and badly acted. I recently bought the novel to see who was to blame, Stanley Kubrick or Stephen King. Before I had gotten a quarter of the way through the book I had the answer, Stanley Kubrick. After reading the entire book I see that the movie was even more lacking in plot, acting and scare factor than I had thought. The first half of the book is more entertaining than the entire movie in my opinion.
