Better than the book

Rating: Null/10 (22 April 2003)

Ok, so it's not what Stephen King would make (I sat through about five minutes of the miniseries), but it's a lot better. It is, though pretty subtle, which horror movies as a genre are not. If you want a "horror" movie, with all the blood and teenagers that they now seem to contain you should look elsewhere, although for me, this is the only scary movie I've seen in the last fifteen years.
Don't watch it because it's a horror movie, just watch it as a movie. It's great in my opinion, and still sticks in my mind long after having seen it. Which almost no "real" horror movies manage to do.
