Read the short story and saw this film years ago when it first came out. I don't remember it being this bad.
But OMG is it awful. Loaded with cliches and just corny awful. The dialogue is awful. The acting is awful. The kid's fake crying is awful. The 30-year-old looking teenagers in the classroom are awful.
This movie got stuck in a timewarp of some screenwriters' and director's imagination of middle fly over state America.
I'm watching this in horror, because it's so bad that it's taken on a different take of what horror is. I don't remember it being bad. I don't remember it being bad at all, but looking at it again in 2022 I'm just flat out horrified at the awfulness of this thing! It doesn't even meet the, this so bad it's good category take my word for it - it's just bad.
Poor Stephen King they never get his stories right.
