I just watched this and I have to agree. I'm baffled at the 7.4 rating. It relied on gory special effects instead of story or character development (Stephen King always concentrates on fleshing out his characters). The original did a fair job of it and it had a very creepy tone which this one missed by a mile. To those moaning about the complaints, it's a discussion board, not a fan site. It's also not a venue for insulting people. Quote [quote]There was never a theatrical movie version of this story before, only a highly-sanitised television movie, and we all know they can't go too far to avoid upsetting people.[/quote] Semantics. For all intents and purposes, this is a remake.
