A Superb Film

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2001)

Book to movie translations, for some reason most of the time people try to make one something goes awfully wrong and a great book turns into a pile of horse ****. But unlike most movies, thanks to Stephen King's magnificent novel and Stanley Kubric's exceptional directing skills this movie is a winner. This film is full of spooky things which'll make you leap from your seat but unlike other cheesy b movies, it's not a bunch of half naked teenagers running around being slashed to bits. No, this is a unique film which scares you in so many unique ways...The part where the little kid runs around in his tricycle was soo...different, just the fact that all you saw was the kid running around with it and hearing nothing but the wheels squeek....the tension building up then climaxing with his meeting with the twin girls followed by a brief image of thier HACKED UP BODIES ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH BLOOD OOZING FROM THE WALLS. It was brilliant! For those who haven't seen this movie I highly recommend you should, but I strongly suggest you watch it with your lights on. Remorse P.S. To resist is to ***s in the wind, whoever tries will wind up smelly.
