Stephen King's Bag of Bones was one of the best supernatural dramas i have ever read, and the miniseries truly captured the setting and emotion of that story. A famous author, Mike Noonan (Pierce Brosnan) and his wife (Annabeth Gish) are at the book signing of his new novel when his wife decides to run across the street to get something. On her way back, she is hit by a bus and fatally injured. Trying to move on with his life, Noonan decides to take time off from writing his next book, a trunk novel, and vacation at his grandfather's old home, where his wife used to visit every summer. When he arrives, he begins to investigate a little bit into his wife's life there because before she died, she picked up a pregnancy test from the store.
Pierce Brosnan is ever-so convincing as Mike, a very distraught but faithful man with nothing to look forward to, and is easily manipulated by some of the old "demons" that reside in the small town in Maine. The effects and make-up are phenomenal, capturing the eerie tone of Stephen's works, as well as the emotional tone on the levels of Frank Darabont who has previously done Stephen's favorite adaptations of his works (The Mist, The Green Mile, and The Shawshank Redemption). This is definitely a worthy adaptation of Stephen's novel and should be seen by anyone who was a fan of the book.
