Bag of Bones (2011)
7/10
Totally decent.

Warning: Spoilers
Listen, I read the book a few years ago, and it was amazing until the end. Way too fantastic to be legit. I am hoping this end is more in tune with the creepy supernatural aspect than an unbelievable crescendo storm on the lake. That being said, the problem, as always with King "movies" is that you just can't embody the fright of your own imagination into a movie, when you have already read the book. Also, the Max Devore character leaves little thus far to be desired in the field of visual horror. The way I envision him would be akin to a living poltergeist who smells like death. So, undoubtedly King fans are doomed to disappointment, but if you are seeing this with fresh eyes, it is totally entertaining. I will say, I hate that it is cable. Commercials disrupt the rhythm.
