Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaStephen King says that he was genuinely frightened by this adaption of his novella. Frank Darabont described that as the happiest moment of his career.
- GoofsThe headline "Electric storm largest on record" on The Castle Rock Times is accompanied by "placeholder" text, commonly known in the publishing and design world as "Lorem Ipsum"- a derivative of Latin that is meant to have no meaning. Same for the text underneath the "Celebrating Heritage" blurb above the masthead.
- Quotes
Amanda Dunfrey: You don't have much faith in humanity, do you?
Dan Miller: None, whatsoever.
Amanda Dunfrey: I can't accept that. People are basically good; decent. My god, David, we're a civilized society.
David Drayton: Sure, as long as the machines are working and you can dial 911. But you take those things away, you throw people in the dark, you scare the shit out of them - no more rules.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits begin as the song at the end of the film fades out. As the end credits roll up the screen, the sounds of military vehicles (helicopters, tanks, APCs, etc.) can be heard over the credits.
- Alternate versionsScreenwriter and Director Frank Darabont wanted the movie to be shown in black and white. Eventually it was filmed in color but a black and white version of the movie is on the 2-disc DVD release.
- SoundtracksThe Host of Seraphim
Written by Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry

If you're watching it and mid way thinking it just ain't for you, please stick with it. Trust me... the ending will pay off. The last 5 minutes more than make up for the time invested. The acting, writing, cinematography, THE MUSIC, all top top tier. Has Frank Darabont ever done anything that wasn't above average? I can't think of anything.
