It is the town where he witnessed his brother Wayne's death but it was the only teaching job he could get. He left when he was nine years old. Jim's older brother was killed by a gang of greasers and Jim escaped while they beat and killed Wayne. Three of the gang members later died and the fourth survived the accident and Jim witnessed it all.As Jim learns his students and teaches his new class, his favorite students begin disappearing and are replaced one by one by the dead gang members who killed his brother. They are terrorizing him and his family and he has to face his old fears all over again. He is forced into a confrontation with evil that has haunted him for 21 years....This is a good adaptation of the Stephen King short story of the same title. It is a good movie and the end is dramatic. It is not as bloody or gory and many of Stephen King's stories are but there are some scenes in the movie that are scary. This made for TV horror movie actually has some good acting in it and the story line is very good. I enjoy Stephen King's books and this movie is a good story made into a good movie. I enjoyed it and I recommend it to you.
