Sometimes They Won't Quit Coming Back...
This first film was fine. I liked it but it's not King's best film. I've never read the story so do not know how well it translated to film. The basics of the story is that a schoolteacher in dire financial straits and at least one mental break-up under his belt must move to his childhood hometown... Besides there's a job there open at the high school. How convenient! Unfortunately, this happens to be the same towne where his brother, and nearly himself, was murdered by bad boys (apparently from hell) who themselves were killed by a train moments after the murder. But that was long ago when he was a kid, no train goes there anymore and those murderous punks are dead. Problem is, Sometimes They Come Back! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! The film is nice to have if you love King especially. It's not his best nor worst IMO. Believe it or not this one stemmed two sequels, each worse than the one before it I think. I think this one is worth it though.
