Wow, I already wrote this movie off as crap. I had no I idea it was a King novel. I will prolly see it/steal it when it comes out. Before this thread, I thought it was simply the movie that fills the gap between "The Fog" and "The Drizzle"

It's actually a long short story [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] or novella or whatever...the first "chapter" of Skeleton Crew.

That collection also contained "The Raft", which was pretty good, but got poor treatment in Creepshow II. I thought "Survivor Type" would have made an excellent short flick (like 1 hr) but what do I know...

If it's anything like the movie 'Dreamcatcher", I think I'll miss it. What a horribly disappointing movie.

I didn't see the movie (though I like Damian Lewis from Band of Brothers) but I didn't like the book at all, so it's not surprising that the movie wasn't well-received. Seems like Hollywood can turn good stories into bad movies, but can't turn bad stories into good movies. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I think you missed the point. The less King's name is trumpeted about, the better the movie tends to be. Look at the posters again.
