You mean like "Children of the Corn" ?
Oh, come on; his whole career has blatantly employed old concepts. Ghosts, psychics, vampires, werewolves... The devil in Needful Things...
When it comes to least favorites, Pet Semetary has...
:orely: That makes a lot of sense. You're making me want to watch it again with more scrutiny! :lol:
I have, and you're right, it did, but Kubrick's version still worked better as a straight up horror.
Whereas The Green Mile film was quite faithful to the book that it was based on. Indisputably good filmmaking, and a real boost to SK's reputation with the mainstream public. I think the only...
Thanks. I think you'd agree even more with my Rose Madder suggestion fitting his usual tone if you HAD seen more of his past work. I love del Toro. RM is one of the SK books I like least, but as I...
Well, you're quite right about that. Sorry if I was being a wet blanket. The first one wasn't all bad. Wasn't all good, though. Here, I'm more like just wondering if Del Toro, great as he is at...

Give him Rose Madder. There's no one else who could make anything good out of that.
1) Looking at Which unadapted SK stories would you like to see? none of the prospects excites me.
On the other hand, plenty of already-filmed stories besides PS could be done much better. That, I'm...
Leave out the metaphysics, (as the film mostly did) and South Park's mockery of PS definitely makes sense.
:couple: My feelings exactly. Still.
Good point. I, myself, recently thought of how well the hand in the coffin worked.
I guess that it could have been much worse. Sure wouldn't want to see a real flop turn out. Maybe I'm just one...
Well, of course, we've talked lots about the cultural bankruptcy shown in that contemporary trend, on this thread: Remakes
However, there's also this one to consider: Movies Based On Books
I just...
Fred Gwynne was pretty good. Denise Crosby was pretty bad.
1408 was superb.:panic: Me, I do expect that this will be an improvement. :excited:
