One of the better King book-to-film adaptations.

While no means a masterpiece, it's a Stephen King film worthy of viewing once or twice...

More interested in special effects than in dramatic flare.

"back off" indeed

It's not great. It mainstreams all the novel's subversiveness, but it's watchable.

Firestarter wasn't great, but everyone involved survived... as you will if you ever feel the need to give it another look.

A scene-stealing performance by a menacing George C. Scott and a terrific musical score by Tangerine Dream elevate this entertaining companion piece to 1978's The Fury.

Bad movie. Bad career move. Bad in all respects.

A whole lot of explosions punctuate a whole lot of blather ... and it's one of the most woefully miscast adaptations I've ever seen!

Stephen King didn't like it, but it really ain't that bad.

Weak horror flick with sick overtones of pedophilia.

corny and overblown
