Man, I never knew this existed...


I'm an avid Stephen King fan and I absolutely love his novella "the raft". I always thought it would make a great movie. Come to find out this has existed for many years. Feel kinda stupid just now watching "creep show" for the first time.

Which version of The Raft do you think did it better, the movie or the original novella?

reply

The novella 100 percent. This version was good to see on screen but it just doesn't create the atmosphere and horror that the novella had. Plus the molestation scene was odd, in the novella it was consensual and you understood how that could happen with all of the stress they were under.

reply

Yeah, they should've just did a consensual sex scene between Laverne and Randy on the raft which would've made more sense and given us another cheesy 80's sex scene to add to the list.

Yea you should feel stupid considering this movie has been out since 1987. I'd be very embarrassed too
