It seems to me the director, Mick Garris, was not in the "spirit" of Stephen King when he made this film. The movie is alright but it really had a great potential to be much better than what it is. It lacked that Stephen King feeling or "spirit".
The actors are good in the film - I'm not knocking them. They only acted out what was given to them to work with. Special effects are fine, cinematography is fine... for me this film just lacked that "King horror feeling".
If you like Stephen King and horror or ghost stories in general then I will say give this film a go if you can't find something else better to watch.
6/10.
