A great Stephen King book but sadly fails to meet expectations in the film. It is OK but that's all.
I enjoy Stephen King books that are developed into TV Movies. Ever since The Stand and It, it's a given that your going to be entertained. I did enjoy this movie I haven't read the book so cannot comment on what has been changed. The acting was good however I found that this movie (teleplay by Stephen King) seemed to be as long as possible with some scenes really going nowhere. The movie is pretty much standard Stephen King stuff with a religous overtone, it is in the same vein of the Stand and the Tommyknockers but just not as good. Even so it's enjoyable enough to fill in an evening when there is nothing on telly.
The film was good in as much it kept you in suspense with the background stories yet it still had the inevitable Stephen King twist at the end.
