If you didn't read the short story...


....by Stephen King, you probably won't get it and won't like it. If you did, you will. Because it's probably one of THE most faithful S.K. adaptions I've seen (his stuff isn't always easy to adapt ) and the most successful.

All the actors are perfectly cast as well.

Yep.

And that's my ten cents.

Well I hadn't read his novel and enjoyed and understood the film.

There were a few liberties taken in several places however, eg Lester's death and the conversation at the end between Tess and Betsy

While I agree with your initial idea that one must read the story to see the fully the implications and reasons, I don't agree it's the most faithful. I can think of several that were much better and followed his original story just as well, if not better.
