I have not read the book, but I am a Stephen King fan. This movie was… good. It wasn’t great. It was entertaining enough to keep me watching until the end, but could have been so much better. First of all, the acting was subpar. I love Alfre Woodard, so she could do no wrong, and the kid that plays Mark was great. Everyone else was average. Maybe they needed better writing. The comedic timing was also terrible. I think if this was a series and the characters were more fleshed out and the writing was better, this could have been an awesome adaptation. All that to say, it’s an alright film, and you should watch it to form your own opinion.
