I was excited for this one, however, the book for me is one of Stephen King's best, so was also a bit cautious not to be overly excited. I don't like the original movie that much, so I thought it could have been done better and I had only seen one trailer very early on, so not too much was given away.
But while watching this film I was just hoping for it to become better more and more, and that annoyed me. Some of the shots were pretty cheap visually and the acting, there was just no chemistry between the parents. The best acting comes from the kids. it seemed to take forever for the 'accident' to happen and when it finally did it seemed as if the movie was rushed, the plot had to be told, because they were afraid the attention of the viewer would be lost. (I wonder why, we did pay for the ticket after all, so why would you suddenly rush it). And then the ending. The thing is, you have probably either read the book or seen the movie, so you expect at least something. But the movie let go of a few things from the book and then you just know, the ending is going to be different too. And that made it very predictable. There were just a few times I thought it became real horror and the images were graphic, but over all, it's just a family movie gone wrong. 5 stars for entertainmentfactor, but that's it. can't make more of it.
